Twin Falls
$ 50–$ 1,500
This is the 3rd image in my Tropical Ladies series. If you are wondering where those falls are they are part of the river that runs through the Akaka Falls Park. I loved the mossy rocks and dappled light. I don’t actually make the ladies go with me to these areas but take photos of details that I want to include in the paintings. It might take six or seven different photographs to make up one painting.

Here though, one of our local children remembers the roots of her families heritage in a performance at Lilliokalani Park in Hilo. She had to dress as one of the young male dancers as they didn’t have any boys willing to dance!

While most people who visit Hawaii experience some form of hula (some of it very good)in their evenings of Polynesian Luau shows, in reality, hula exists casually at real family and community gatherings all over the Hawaiian islands. It is also performed with intense perfection at hula competitions, such as the Merrie Monarch Festival...

Tropical Morning
This is the 4th image in my series of Tropical Ladies. Just north, outside Hilo, along the Hamakua heritage Coast, is one of my favorite places on the island. Follow the scenic detour signs and it will take you on a journey through a magnificent, tropical jungle with waterfalls and steams and the beautiful, Onomea Bay. Its green embrace is a balm to the soul and that is where I see my lovely lady sitting in her tropical paradise.
