The painting
In my
words.
Wailua is on the east side of Kauai, near Lihue, where the river comes down out of the green mountains and meets the ocean. We spent December 2018 on the island and the colour there is unlike anywhere else I’ve painted: deep greens, red earth and clouds that never stay still. I painted this on location in the late afternoon, in one sitting, and left it exactly as it was. The original has found a home, but it’s still available as a print.
