Description
Ukuleles have been around for hundreds of years, but their origin is quite interesting. Ukes are commonly associated with Hawaiians, but they actually were developed in the 1880s, based on a Portuguese string instrument, the machete de braga. About 100 years after the ukulele was developed it gained popularity in the U.S.
I created this painting as a companion piece to my "Guitar Hawaiian Style" painting. The most challenging part of this painting was the backwards hibiscus flower.
NOTE; This painting, along with my entire inventory and art studio, was destroyed in the Lahaina fire on August 8th, 2023.
