Shade and High Tide - Hapuna South
Acrylic 8 x 10 on Gallery Wrapped canvas

 https://www.janewordtaylor.com/ I have been coming to this beach for 70 years, so my paintings tend to include memories that mix over time. When I was a child we would camp there and be the only people. The puddle in the middle of the beach only happens when the tide is very high. Birds and children love it. The trees along the South end of the beach are mostly fallen now, but people still seek shade along the edge of the cliff.

Merry Christmas from Waimea!

 The big Parker Ranch Tree is lit and the cherry blossoms are going off at the same time! Climate Change in action. Still lovely...

Print On Demand options, including greeting cards, puzzles, and prints. I'm extra excited about the puzzles! (tested that - they take about 2 weeks to arrive and are good quality standard cardboard puzzles with decent variety in the pieces. My hunt for fancy wooden ones that are affordable continues.)

When I first came to this beach (Anaeho'omalu), I came by boat because there was no road. Years later I kept my kayak here, tied to a Kiawe tree. I'd come down and paddle and watch them building those condos across the bay. In those days the beach by the fish pond was filled with palm trees.  A favorite spot in all its incarnations.

 This wonderful snorkeling beach is a nursery place for fish and coral, a wonderful and much loved introductory spot for ocean lovers, and a refuge for sea turtles. 

Koa’e Kea playing  in the Updrafts
acrylic 12 x 16 on gesso board
$500

Oops - stay tuned - started working on it again, so it will change!

Koa'e Kea, or White Tailed Tropic birds, nest in the walls of Kilauea Caldera and play in the updrafts altogether too near active eruptions for my comfort! What a magnificent mysterious connection they have. It was my privilege to photograph them playing there and so to be able to share them in my painting. This is Episode 22, an earlier and more sedate display shortly before the dramatically tall and energetic episodes 23 and 24 that followed in June of 2025.

 The white-tailed tropicbird (Phaethon lepturus), also known as the Koaʻe Kea in Hawaiian, is considered indigenous to Hawaiʻi. This means the bird naturally occurs in Hawaiʻi and was not introduced by humans. White-tailed tropicbirds are found in a broad range of tropical and subtropical regions. The subspecies Phaethon lepturus dorothea breeds in Hawaiʻi.
