Swimming and Painting in French Polynesia

Tahiti, Tikihau and Rangiroa

I was able to make another trip to the South Pacific recently. I brought my watercolor sketchbook and enjoyed trying to come close in capturing the endless variations in blue.

The best known of the islands I visited was Tahiti. It’s located about 2500 miles south of Hawaii. New Zealand is about the same distance to the west. I also visited two atolls (Tikihau and Rangiroa) that are located about 200 miles from Tahiti. In the coming days post sketches from the trip.
