Artwork Description

Moon Over Kailua Town

0.0 x 0.0

This painting was painted from photos that I took while standing on the Kailua Pier at night. The beauty of the moon peeking through the clouds and the colorful reflections of lights on the water inspired me to paint this. The original is a 24 x 36 inch oil on canvas. The ancient Hawaiians shared a special kinship with the heavenly realm of their gods. Night was the source of their maternal connection to the spirit world of their ancestral deities. It served as a cognizant reminder of the dual nature that the indigenous Hawaiians enjoyed as spirit beings as children of the gods. The origin of the Hawaiian lunar calendar was intricately linked with the creation of the cosmos and the genesis of mankind.
