G. Peine Toomalatai: My Watercolor/Acrylic Animals

What I Feel....

Color and Light would be the main things my paintings represent. I am so amazed by the magnificent colors I see in nature and all around me. I marvel at the light that reflects off of clouds and the mountains as night falls. I am continually surprised by nature. I love everywhere I have traveled because of the discovery of color and light. So my paintings are a reflection of my love for nature and my journey toward more light into my life.

The places I've lived, traveled and imagine is what I paint. One painting may have glimpses of Idaho, mountains out my back window in Utah, California or somewhere imaginary all combined into one painting. Continually I am surprised by what I see as a finished painting. That is the fun of painting for me is the surprise at the end. I sometimes feel that someone else is guiding my hands and I am only the brush or the tool.

My technique is the process. It represents life, a refining process to reach the beauty that exists in each of us and the reflection of the beauty in nature.

I am so grateful for this great ability and just want to thank you who have purchased any of my work and you who admire my work.

Thank you.
