This symbolic painting represents an old Hawaiian fishing village. The Petroglyph images are based off of real Hawaiian Petroglyphs. The patterns and placements are my design. There are three canoes, five paddlers, a fisherman and fish hooks, a honu (sea turtle), a Chief with a kapu stick, a family and a circle of life.

I covered the canvas with tissue paper to give it the texture of kapa or tapa cloth. I then dry brushed layers of acrylic in colors of red iron oxide, burnt sienna, yellow ocher, and unbleached titanium white. I used these same colors to create the patterned design. The Petroglyphs are painted with charcoal black. My intent for using these colors was to give my painting a natural look and feel.
