JUST RELEASED!!!!!! This piece captures the unforgettable experience of approaching Kalalau Beach from the water. I started this peice last October. The deeper I got into the painting, the more it detail it wanted. Layers upon layers of translucent pigment create infinite shades of blue-green water. I lost myself for countless hours in the mists and reflecting ripples. I wanted to feel the cliffs of Na Pali tower over me. I wanted to translate the distinct feel of each element, the land, water and sky. All together, they weave the splendor that is Kalalau.
After nearly 7 months, the painting was finished. I wanted to give this piece a frame that was also one-of-a-kind. I’ve been dreaming of a frame like this for a while, with curves and movement. Tucked away in my woodshop were a few boards of very special curly Koa wood from Kauai. I’ve had this wood for 8 years, waiting for the right moment, a project worthy of the stunning wood-grain. After a month of careful planning, meticulous shaping, and hand-finishing, the frame is also complete. The wood-grain is absolutely stunning with 5 coats of oil finish hand-polished to a shine. The curves and edges flow elegantly.
Taking several hundred hours of loving craftsmanship, “Emerald Cathedral” is my tribute to the place I call home, the island that constantly shelters and inspires me.
