ABOUT THIS PRINT

This is print is from a series of paintings that celebrate Kauai’s marvelous array of tropical fruit and proudly stages them within any of her many breathtaking locales. Each new painting is an opportunity to explore abstract designs in order to express my favorite island subjects in exciting ways. This particular pineapple is meant to evoke the steep walls of the valleys north of Hanalei in Waipa. The paint was applied in loose patches of rich color. The line work is bold and graphic while the dark saturated colors evoke a sense of mystery. This blend of volumetric modeling and cartoonish linearity reminds me of some works by Max Beckman, certainly an inspiration.

ABOUT FRAMING AND STORING YOUR ART

The high quality ink and paper ensure that your fine art print terrifically displays fine detail and a wonderful chromatic range that is guaranteed to last. I recommend the artworks remain in their acid-free packages until they can be safely framed behind UV filtering glass or plexiglass. Remember that nothing can protect your art from direct, continuous sun exposure! Park your art in the shade, y’all.
