Ohia ... and o'er deah
Ever have one of those days that you just need to plop your butt under a tree and watch the clouds float by?

"Daily drawings and paintings by Joan Yoshioka"
About Me
- Joan Y
- Hawaii, United States
- Hi! I'm an outdoor-lovin' optimist, biologist/botanist, and habitual creator of art-stuff. I believe the key to our most fundamental and truest part of ourselves is found in nature and I constantly draw on it for inspiration. "Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more". - Vincent van Gogh
Want to purchase artwork?
Just shoot me an email at joanyoshioka(at)gmail(dot)com! The oil paintings were painted with artist grade paints on cotton canvas with sides painted black so they don't have to be framed; they hang perfectly with a little nail (not pretentious at all!). Watercolors are on Arches 140 lb. watercolor paper using artist grade paints; the art cards are sent out in a sturdy plastic art card sleeve. If you'd like the original watercolor matted, please let me know. All prints are giclee meaning they are made with archival pigment dyes and are professionally mounted on acid free foam board with acid free mats in a clear cellophane envelop. Please note that the colors in the originals may differ from your screen.
Welcome!

This is gorgeous Joan!!! Really beautiful!
And no...I would not plop my butt down under a tree in Chicago right about now....it would surely freeze.
Oh its a gorgeous piece of work - love the simple touch of red. No way am I sitting under a tree here in East Anglia - its snowing and the girls are in the garden trying to make a snowman!!!.
This is utterly spectacular! I can't stop staring at it!
Wonderful painting Joany! I really love the colour combi. And... yes.... Every day I would love to do that. But also here there's snow and a very cold wind. But go ahead and have a great time girl ;-P
joan this is phenominal!!!
I know exactly what you mean...
Absolutely beautiful!
This is so stunning Joan! WOWZER!!!
LOL Oh yes, snow. Well, I am sending warm thoughts to you all! Thanks for stopping by you awesome peeps. You really made my day!
Gorgeous painting, really a beautiful thing. No sitting under trees for me here in the frozen "midwest" either - lucky you to have light, fluffy clouds to watch - but thanks for sharing this with us :)

Thanks Rhonda and D! I wish I could say it was blue skies today but all I saw was rain and lots of gray. : ) Still beautiful tho'.
Gorgeous watercolour, Joan! I reckon I could plop my butt under a tree and watch the clouds....we're in the midst of summer here. :)
Beautiful botanical ... I like it
I love it
Oh - I love this painting - fabulous!
BEAUTIFUL, Joan!! Do you happen to have note cards with this print? (If so, where can I buy some?) Aloha, -pt
Beeeaaaaauuuutiful! Love the graphic nature of this drawing. It's outrageous!
Great work! I especially like this one. I too draw inspiration from nature.
Great design, great color, great everything!
This could only be by you. Nobody else. It's fab.
Sheesh, is it really so long since I commented here?
Breathtaking! I adore your work!
aloha Joan,
Beautiful work! I love looking at all of your artwork posts, it really inspires me. What would it cost to purchase this image from you? I am looking to open a small hawaiian studio spa, and am looking for an image to represent that. I thought it fitting because Iʻve named it Ohia Lane. Iʻd love to hear your feedback if you find the time. Aloha, and Mahalo, Pohai Au pohaikealohaau@me.com
