Kilauea Volcano, Hawaii

Kilueau Volcano (on the Big Island of Hawaii). Oil on canvas - completed March 2008. Another location where I have lived in the past; just 10-15 miles down the road from this volcano! I have vivid memories of the night sky being lit up by the flaming lava, a faint orange glow keeping the darkness at bay throughout the entire night. A once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Sutter Buttes across the Sacramento River
