Using only a palette knife with heavy impasto, Ed Furuike’s impressionistic oil paintings exude an ethereal quality that captures the spirit of his subject. Born and raised on Oahu, Furuike focuses on the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands. His works range from plein air landscapes and seascapes, to vibrant hanging leis and koi that seem to move on the canvas.
