Hear what people are saying about Window To Paradise...


"Mark's wave pictures are AMAZING! The clarity, the perspective, the details... absolutely incredible!

You know how you go into some galleries and you have to be talked into why something is good, you aren't sure what the artist was thinking and you need to be reassured it is good.

With Mark's waves you need no reassurance. You know it is good without anyone having to tell you. You know, people capture nature, but Mark captures something our eyes can't see.

We love your work!

-George from NM

Mark with Giant Koki Beach Photo

"It was love at first sight!

As soon as I saw your display, I knew I had to have one of these gorgeous shots.  The hard part was choosing which one! 

Mark and Shayla were wonderful to deal with and helped with choose the right print and right size for our location. Their professionalism and enjoyment for their craft were obvious from the start. We are now the proud owners of a 6’ wide "Kihei Canoe Club". 

To say the print is absolutely gorgeous is an understatement.  The quality is breathtaking!  I’m thrilled to have it hanging in our vacation rental where we can not only enjoy it ourselves, but share it with our guests for years to come. 

In fact, we were so pleased, we’re ordering another one."  -Barbara, Kihei, Maui

"We want you to know how sooooooooooo very pleased we are with our BEAUTIFUL pictures!!!!!!!!!!  Thank you so much for such treasures.  We can hardly wait to hang them in the beach house.  They are exquisite.  I looked up in the dictionary the word exquisite because I wanted to make sure I had spelled it correctly. 

The definition is as follows: "marked by flawless craftsmanship or by beautiful, ingenious, delicate, or elaborate execution."  That about says it all in the case of your pictures.  You do such a wonderful job and we are so appreciative of your talent.  Thank you, thank you.  Have a wonderful day.  We hope to  see you again sometime."   - The Morris'

"Hi Mark and Shayla,

I received the parcel today. All is well, but the Canadian Customs opened it using a pry bar! It was then taped together, which of course was not holding when it was delivered. But everything is fine because of your great packaging!! 

 

I have to thank you for the inspiring photographs. One can see the understanding and love you two have for the flora, fauna and landscapes you work with. The best part was when Marylou saw them. She laughed so loud that the dog barked and then she cried. Tears of thanks. Take Care" - Dan, Minnesota

"Having just purchased a home on Maui, we wanted our picture selection to also reflect the sites and beauty of Maui. We found that with Mark and Shayla's pictures.

The pictures are beautiful!

We love our "Ku'uipo (Sweetheart) Falls" and "Lani Ohe 'Heavenly Bamboo'" pics of Hana and the "Reflections" on Ka'anapali Beach which is close to where we live.

Thank you for such beautiful pictures which makes our house our home on Maui." Ken & Reiko, Maui

"Just wanted to say "Mahalo" for my picture that arrived yesterday.

I picked it up from the P.O. today and the lady was very excited to see a picture arrived from Hawaii. She even told me that instructions on how to open it correctly is on the box.

"Ho'omaikai (Gratitude)" is now hanging in that special spot where I will see it every day. It is beautiful. Thank you for packaging it so wonderful. Hope to see you next year. As ever grateful"- Tereska

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a 'Limited Edition' print? Huge    Fine Art Print on Wall
Limited edition (LE) fine art prints are fixed number of prints of that image regardless of demand. We have chosen the magical number of 88 as our standard for our LE prints. Subject to a minimum size requirement of 3’ X4’, we will only print 88 copies of our LE fine art giclees.

We currently have only one image in our 'Limited Edition' line, the magnificent 'Koki Beach' as seen in this lovely Wailea home.

What makes Window to Paradise so special?
‘Window to Paradise’ is a dream of the creators, Mark and Shayla Middleton. We strive to create a ‘window’ that draws your attention away from the ‘everyday’ and into a 'magical world'… a slice of ‘Paradise’.

All images are personally and meticulously handled from start to finish by us, the artists. We print them ‘in-house’ on our huge specialized fine art printer, we spray each image with three coats of a special eco-friendly UV coating with an amazing archival rating of over 100 years, and finally, we will personally gallery wrap frame your image using specialized archival stretcher bars- also rated for over 100 year lifespan. 

Ready to hang, these gallery wrapped images are fabulous.  They also look great in frames and don't need any glass due to the special environmentally friendly coatings we use.

The Famous "Black Rock" in Lahaina

At the very western most part of the Hawaiian island of Maui sits a formation of Lava that juts out into the dark blue and turquoise south pacific sea. 

This black lava formation is known as 'Black Rock' and sits in the middle of South and North Ka'anapali Beach - one of the world's greatest beaches- three miles long... 

Historically and culturally significant, it also is a stunning stop for anyone visiting Maui.  One of the favorite snorkeling locations on the island, protected much of the day from wind and surf, home to many colorful reef fish, turtles, eels and octopus.  Whales come right by during the season and you will hear them when your head is underwater.

Visit our Gallery for many gorgeous Maui Beaches images to see for yourself...
