Description

Kahakuloa Head is located in a very remote area in West Maui on the island's north shore near the village of Kahakuloa. The 636-foot hill is a scenic landmark. Not many people make it here because the only road that leads here, Kahekili Highway (Route 340) isn't really a “highway.” Many people consider it hazardous and one of the spookiest roads they have ever driven. The road hugs the sea cliffs and is very narrow (often just one lane), with many blind curves and no guard rails. So not many people visit this part of Maui.

King Kahekili was king on Maui in the mid-1700s. It is believed that Kahakuloa Head was one of King Kahekili's favorite cliff-diving spots. He climbed up this hill and leaped into the ocean below. That's why the hill is also known as Kahekili's Leap, hence the title of this painting.

I created this painting with a palette knife. It's part of my " Dancing With Waves" series. The original painting sold. Prints are available.
