On the last day of trip, we decided to stop in Colors of Paradise Gallery. As we slowly wandered…read morethrough the gallery, taken aback by the beautiful art, we were stopped in our tracks by a painting. We both instantly fell in love with it. I quickly asked the young lady (Liz) if there was a smaller print of it and she informed us that it was an unfinished piece, letting us know there were others with similarities. We quickly said no other would do. You see, this painting was as though the artist, her husband Ernest, was sitting in the boat with us when we were married off the coast, near the Captain Cook monument. The painting was stunning and already meant something to us. Liz gave us information and we went on our way. We talked about the painting for weeks following. I believe we were contacted via email, letting us know the painting had been completed. Although we didn't purchase the original, we were guaranteed the signed and number 1 print. On top of that, the incredible artist, (Ernest, who is the husband of the nice young lady, Liz in the shop) carefully and strategically hid our names and wedding date in the print, along with their signature islands. Our print is one of a kind and it means so much to us. We were contacted when it was on its way to us and kept in the loop the whole time. It arrived and we were pleased beyond measure! It was exciting to seek out our personal hidden information and the islands. Topping off the print, a hand written message on the back of the canvas from Ernest himself... truly a treasure in our home!!! The painting sets itself apart from the decor in our home but it's treasured!

There were surfboards, metal items and of course beautiful pictures. The art was on the high side but it was nice. This place is well curated. I wanted to patronize this place but they didn't have many smaller items like jewelry to buy. That's the only small critique I have. I will definitely return here.

This is the gallery you should buy from, hands down. I bought my second Walfrido original (on koa…read morewood). For that kind of money you want to be sure you can trust the gallery. You can 100% trust Victoria and her boss Mark. The reason I prefer this gallery over others is because the consultants. For example, Victoria literally picked out Several pieces that I fell in love with. No other gallery (Gupton and/or Gensis) is that invested in their clients to know EXACTLY what a client might like. She was spot on with what I was looking for and I cannot say enough good things. I trust Victoria and Mark with my life. They will work tirelessly to get you want you want, and then to be happy with those choices. Lastly, Oceanfront Gallery is NEVER pushy. You never feel anyone hovering over you like at other galleries (listed above). They are interested in getting you what you want. Please check out Oceanfront and ask for Victoria. She will not let you down.

What made my first visit so special was finding such a unique piece -- a ray, for me symbolizing one of the best free dives of my life -- and meeting the young craftsman who had carved it. We talked for quite a while and I loved hearing him share stories of his creative life and work. Please, make time to visit this magical place and leave time to see and hear the beauty they bring to life.

After chatting for a bit discovered he'd spent some time in our home town of Astoria, OR. What a delight! Many of his paintings are island inspired - lava, wild chickens, etc. He has quite the story about his rooster paintings. I thought the prices for his exceptional original artwork were reasonable, and he explained how they can ship using high-quality packaging. We're still toying with the idea of purchasing even though we're stateside now. What a delightful fascinating time we had here, hopefully you'll get a chance to talk with him if you visit.
