Kawena Pukui IV

Painting the Portrait of Kawena Pukui

Adding facial tones and Kawena's hair.


Background color painted on.


Work on Kawena's portrait continues with additions inspired by the ocean surrounding the Hawaiian Islands and the tropical flora.  This painting, commissioned by The Perpetual You magazine for an upcoming issue is very close to completion. Mary Kawena Pukui, a Hawaiian Treasure, magnificent woman, who was a scholar, historian, writer, dancer, teacher is an inspiration.  It is an honor to bring her to life on paper.
