Banana Plants in Keanae

A "must stop" if you are driving to Hana!

The quiet little town of Keanae, is on the way to Hana. This lava peninsula was turned

 into a rich farming area where taro has been grown for generations. Only a few people

 live there now. There is a stone church there, built in 1856, that survived a killer tsunami

 in 1946. It wiped out the rest of the village and killed at least 24 people. The development

 of our tsunami warning system came because of the tragedy.

This is a 5 x 7 acrylic painting of one of the roads down there lined with bananas plants.

Painting 21 - going more abstract

I am abstracting my art more and more now and am happy with the way it is going. I am striving for a more contemporary, unique style, personalized by the places I am at in my life.

 I hope you will follow on my colorful mixed media journey.
