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!

Very happy we came here. The art was so beautiful. They said no pictures so I didn't take any but…read moreman did I want to. So many beautiful pieces here. 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.

Jill the Director was so friendly, we really enjoyed talking to her during our visit. You will find paintings, sculptures, glass and other mediums in the gallery. The glass humpback whales were beautiful, and I admired the mermaid paintings. I would definitely recommend visiting the gallery to view such a wonderful collection of original artwork. Also a big Mahalo to the gallery and artists for sending supplies to Lahaina High after the recent devastating fires. It is amazing how our Hawaiian community came together to support Lahaina through such loss.

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.

So much better than going home with a t-shirt! I found a piece of pottery with Hawaiian flowers painted and textured on it by a local potter on the island. I am going to add to my collection. The painted silks were absolutely stunning. The woman working packed my price in a bubble envelope (yes recycling!) and was very kind. I'd recommend stopping--it's like an art museum and gift shop combined!

Nana was in the store so we got a chance to talk to her. She made my husband a little dragon in SECONDS!!! She does give classes when she is in town and I would love to attend one! Even if you don't want to buy anything please do check out the works of art in this shop!!

Randomly dropped by this store as we saw these beautiful flowers displayed in the windows. It's…read moreactually a really interesting shop where all the flowers are made by hand using clay. The clay hardens on its own and the result in something that looks super delicate, but is actually very hearty. The guy running the shop also makes some of the flowers. He offered to make a flower while we watched so we could see the process. He was able to make a flower that seemed so real and lifelike quite quickly. He sells these clay flowers in various sizes and arrangements with pricing ranging from $5 up to the hundreds. We ended up buying a magnet that had a single handmade clay flower that was the perfect unique souvenir from Kona. This place is definitely worth checking out while in Kona.
