Description
This is painting two in a two part series.
Turtles are one of the oldest creatures on earth. The Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle, known as “Honu,” symbolizes good luck, endurance and long life. Turtles can show up as a person’s guardian spirit, known as “Aumakua.” When lost, turtles are excellent navigators and often find their way home. Legend states that a green sea turtle guided the first Polynesian settlers to the islands. In modern times, sea turtles are protected by the Endangered Species act.
The circles in my painting represent a seamless life. The Hawaiians believed a closed circle represented a life that has no beginning or end. Therefore, it contains sacred knowledge that is interconnected to the stars and planets in the circle of life.
NOTE; This painting, along with my entire inventory and art studio, was destroyed in the Lahaina fire on August 8th, 2023.
