ISLAND DREAM LIFE ~ Tropical Paradise Paintings

It's time to feature another great artist.




Welcome to "Island Dream Life". My name is LisaBongZee and I live in Hawaii. I love to paint tropical island paradise scenes. Anything from tiny secluded tiki huts, to Polynesian fisherman, to the lush tropical flowers and plants that grow here in the "Land Of Aloha".

Most are imaginary places in my mind.... in my dreams. A perfect far off land, devoid of problems and politics. A simple life, with no alarm clock, no schedule. Where the only work is paddling out for that perfect wave, or fishing in a turquoise lagoon while the cool island breeze sends sweet smelling Frangipani your way…….

Having lived in Hawaii most of my life, I have been able to experience some of the "Island Dream Life" of this very special place. Through my paintings, I hope to be able to capture the peaceful, serene Paradise that most of us dream about!

Oils are my favorite, although I do enjoy watercolors, as well. I am always up for trying new innovations and ideas, which keeps my style ever changing.

Some of my other hobbies include surfing, snowboarding, hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, and working out in my yard of beautiful tropicals, which are the inspiration for many of my paintings!

Mahalo for taking the time to view my artwork.

I am a proud member of Etsy's VAST

Art-By-Betty-Refour

It is time to feature another great artist and WWAO friend, Betty Refour.




I have been drawing for as long as I can remember. My favorite color as a child was yellow orange. It had to be on everything I drew. I wanted to be a Fashion Designer. Coco Chanel was my idol. I loved the classic style to her designs. I went to design school and after I finished when I couldn't get a job as a Head Designer :), I pursued other interests. Some 15 years later after a back injury I started painting as a form of therapy. In the years since attending school I continued to draw, but I had never painted. When a friend asked me to design a card for her baby shower I got the idea to put my artwork on cards.
I lost my grandmother to Breast Cancer, my mother to Myeloma and my sister Rose has Autism so I am always looking for ways to advocate for these causes.

Rose and I are both primarily self taught and our work can be found in collections around the world. Rose is mostly non verbal and will often use art to express herself.
