About the Item

Oil painting of a Maui Landscape. Painted en plein air at a graveyard, Bretzke titles this work humorously, "Dying to Stay in Maui". Two figures stand in a graveyard, on a Hawaiian island, in what is usually known as paradise. Bretzke captures rays of sun light reflecting through prominent clouds, obscuring a mountainous horizon. Palm trees stand tall along the hillsides.

Carl has also trained extensively under Plein Air Painters of America signature artist Joseph Paquet.
