“Ocean Paradise” is one of Coleman’s newest releases and featured on the cover of his recent brochure, so this is a close-out item. Arguably his finest image, “Ocean Paradise” captures all the tropical elements that have made Coleman one of the most popular modern day artists.

You don’t have to be an art connoisseur to be comfortable bidding at online auctions such as Ebay. If you have a favorite artist and know the images Ebay offers art lovers savings with the convenience of armchair shopping.

Those not familiar with the name may be more familiar with his collaborations with environmental artist Wyland. These collaborations hanging in Wyland Galleries nationwide feature both of two talented artists on the same canvas. Wyland painted everything below sea level and Coleman everything above.

To reach this point, Coleman had to pay his dues. Back in 1969 Coleman found his creative energies welcomed by Walt Disney Productions. As an animation background designer Coleman styled and worked on nine feature films and over thirty short subjects.

After twenty-two years with Disney found him ready to dedicate all of his time and talent to develop the love of his life, fine art. Today he continues to illuminate the art world with vibrant colors, gentle moods, powerful design and exquisite detail. His impressionistic and luminous style intrigues the eye and touches the heart, to make his paintings warm, inviting and unique.

A master of color, light and design has in recent years made Coleman one of the most collected and sought after artists in Hawaii and around the world. Pieces can be found in many fine, personal, and corporate collections including the Disney family, and sports celebrities.
