North Shore Kauai en plein air
Pierre Bouret moved to Kauai in 1970 to pursue
his passion for surfing. Once on island, he was captivated by the beauty
and magnificence of the surrounding landscape. These images inspired him
to paint Kauai in all her natural splendor. Hawaii's mountains,
waterfalls cascading into the ever changing sea and moments of magical
light and shadow have
provided an endless
source of material.
Bouret's plein air paintings are characterized by
colorful, light filled canvases, which capture fleeting moments in ordinary
life and memorialize the beauty of Hawaii's landscapes and
coastline.
Having had no formal training, Pierre has learned
art technique and the plein air painting style from Saim Caglayan, President and founding member of Laguna Plein Air Painters
Association, Ken Auster, Ian Roberts, Peggy Kroll Roberts, Ray Roberts, Camille
Przewodek and Jeff Horn.
