I came across these paintings by Honolulu artist Douglas Simonson, and they seemed a perfect way to start thinking about the summer.
Simonson has been painting for 30 years, and he seems to love all kinds of beaches — from Hawaii to Brazil.
Check out the gallery of some of his work (some of it NSFW).
Check out Simonson’s website for even more examples of his work.
