Frank Oliva often works on Series
paintings. A single subject becomes the subject of
many paintings. His
"Island"
Series is one example. The Island Series paintings are
based on Hawaiian earth, water, and natural forms. The "Spirit"
paintings express seasonal moods and changes in
light and darkness. The newest series of
paintings, The "Paddler" Series, have been hugely
popular. Each
8x8x3
original painting of a lone paddler against a
multi-colored sun pays homage to the paddlers of the
Pacific who skillfully paddle their long boards along
the island's coast. Other great series paintings (such
as the "Bay"
Series, the "Gecko"
Series, the "Hibiscus"
Series, the "Landscape
& Floral" Series, the "Windows"
Series, and his recent "Road"
Series continue to grow in popularity.
