Kalalau Lookout

‘Kalalau Lookout’ is an 85”x43” oil painting of the Kalalau Valley In Koke’e National Park. I framed it with tiger wood. It is available at Wyland Gallery in Kilauea, Kaua’i.

Kalalau Lookout is one of my most favorite places on earth! I feel the sacredness of hawaiian land there. It is said it is a portal to the 12th dimension.

The Kalalau Valley is a part of the dramatic and breathtaking Nāpali Coast State Park, approximately two miles deep and one mile wide. Traditionally Native Hawaiians used to farm taro in terraces in this valley. Several native species of plants and birds are found only here and nowhere else on earth. In English, Kalalau means “the straying.”

It took me around 6 months to complete this painting.

HONOPŪ

The Napali Coast in Kauai is 16 miles of fascination, excitement, and tranquility. Now lush, these sharp ridges were once bare, lava mountains, long ago broken by roots and eroded by rain and huge winter waves into formations that are captivating. The sharp cliffs rise as much as 4,000 feet above the ocean and as the sun moves low in the sky, the layered ridges and valleys shift from verdent green to blue-grey and take on a mystical look.

Honopū Valley and Beach, along the Nā Pali Coast, is a densely jungled valley thought to be the last home of the Menehune, earning it the moniker, "Valley of the Lost Tribe." The beach is known for its distinctive natural arch, which at approximately 90-feet, is the tallest in Hawai'i, and the secluded .25-mile stretch of beach, known as Cathedral Beach. The name Honopū means "conch shell", deriving from the conch-shell like sound this arch makes when hit by winds from the north.

The hidden valley is believed to be a spiritual location and the source of many Hawaiian myths. Local chiefs were often buried on the surrounded cliffs. It was believed that a late chief's bones held supernatural powers that if found by others could be used for evil. When a chief died, a warrior was chosen to transport their bones to a hidden location in the cliffs and then sacrifice themselves in order to ensure secrecy of the location.

The inspiration behind this painting is of course the absolutley stunning Napali Coast but in this particular one I liked that the mountain is shaped as a pyramid. It took me 9 months to complete this painting.

THE ANCIENT REPTILIAN MAN

My neighbor, Kahuna Ed Kaiwi, is the caretaker of the sacred birthing temple, the Anahola heiau, on Kauai. This painting represents one of his stories about traveling into the spirit world. My work reflect the contrast of traditional and modern lifestyles , inspiration from nature, and connecting with my surroundings. My main interest is to paint peoples stories, where I explore cultural identities and spiritual worlds.

When I researched reptilians and lizards, I was fascintated by Hawaii’s legends of the mo’o (lizard). Seeing a lizard is a reminder that you have the power to achieve what you desire, and that you need time to cultivate your highest path.

It took me around 9 months to complete this painting.

It was selected by a jury for the Schaefer Portrait Challenge in the Maui Cultural Center in 2017.
