North Shore Storms

WOW! What a morning of storms! We were woken up at about 4 am this morning by huge wind gust, lightning, LOUD thunder and pelting rain, rain, rain! Chris and I took advantage to look outside and we captured a few pictures to show you. This weather will make for a huge new collection of originals though! Keep your eyes open for them. The original of "Waikiki" that I posted a few days ago just sold, but I promise there will be more big art coming your way. I will be unveiling 2 new groups of work on February 12, 1 at the Wyland Gallery in Haleiwa from 12-3 pm and the second at the Wyland Gallery in Waikiki from 6-9 pm. I will share more details on those two shows as we get closer.

New Collectors!

Aloha and Happy Monday!

I hope everyone had a great weekend and you are ready for the week ahead!

I am always so happy to hear about people discovering my art and enjoying it, I love to hear that it makes people happy because when I paint, that is really my goal. I am so fortunate for every single collector new and old alike, and sometimes, people even send pictures of themselves with their new Heather Brown Art!

I received a cool email this weekend from the great crew at Mu'umu'u Heaven in Kailua informing me of a new collector of my art. His name is Michihiro Ogasawara and he is a professional baseball player from Japan. He is one of the most consistent hitters in the league and during his time at the Hokkaido NipponHam Fighters his nicknames were "Guts  (ガッツ)" and "Mr. Full Swing (ミスター・フルスイング)"!


They even sent over a picture of him holding the new original that he purchased. Big Mahalo to Mr. Full Swing and the great gals at Mu'umu'u Heaven!

Exciting New Original Art by Heather Brown

Aloha from the chilly North Shore! We had our coldest night of the winter so far and it is still really chilly this morning here, perfect painting weather!

I just finished up a few originals and posted them to my website, www.heatherbrownart.com

The big 30"x40" acrylic on canvas is called "Waikiki" and it will be a published piece, meaning that there will be a limited edition of 100 giclees and 10 Artist Proofs made from this original image.

I also just finished 2 originals on sustainable, eco-friendly bamboo skate decks. Here are some pictures.

The last piece with the 6 vintage birds was a commissioned piece for a collector that I just finished and though I would share.

Everyone Enjoy The Day!

A Day At Pipeline 1-2-11

Aloha!

I hope everyone made it through the holidays in one piece! Yesterday we went down to Pipeline to check out a great new swell that was starting to pick up. The morning saw some smaller messier conditions, but by early afternoon, it was on! We were lucky enough to be invited up to the Obrien hale by Mick and Jamie to get a different perspective. Mahalo Nui Mick and Jamie! Here are some shots from yesterday. Enjoy!

More New Hoodies and the Blue Bag is Back!!!

Aloha!

Just in time for the New Year, I just picked up a new design on the same great lightweight organic cotton hoodies I have been using. The new design is the "High Tide" design. It is called the "Wave" and it is now available on my website!
Also, back by popular demand is the Blue Wave tote bag. This bag is the same great organic cotton as the other totes, just a bit smaller. Many cites and counties around the country are starting to ban plastic bags from the retail stores, so help lead the charge and get some great, strong, organic cotton shopping bags that will last you years to come now!

Wishing everyone a very Safe, Happy and Healthy New Year!


Hau'oli Makahiki Hou!

and for my Japanese friends
謹賀新年 (kinga shinnen)


See You All Next Year!

Some Pictures from The Finals of the Pipeline Master's

Aloha!

I hope everyone had a great Christmas and/or Holiday season! It is a rainy, grey morning here filled with thunder and lightning (which we rarely get). I am working on some new BIG paintings and thought I would take a little break to share some photo's that Chris took from the final day at the 2010 Billabong Pipeline Masters. It was such a great day down there for the final day, the surf could have been a bit more consistent, but the weather was great and the beach was packed! It was truly a great professional event.
Enjoy the pictures!

Merry Christmas Eve!

What a beautiful North Shore morning, ready to go hit the beach and find some nice glassy waves today!

Before I go, I just posted 3 new items to my website that you can see below. The design was a really popular design I put out a couple years ago based on a painting that I did called "Outer Reef"Back by popular demand, here it is! The zip hoodies are Unisex regular fit eco-heather (38% organic cotton, 50% recycled polyester, 12% naturally occurring rayon) l/s zip hoodie. This lightweight hoodie is printed with all water based inks for a great feel and low environmental impact. I also printed some 100% organic cotton men's tees with the same design.

ALSO!!!! I have a special 3 day holiday special on the Zip Hoodies, if you purchase between now and 12/26/10 you can get your zip hoodie for only $40! They normally sell for $60, so hurry up and get your order in before the strike of midnite on the 26th!
