Acrylic on .5 inch gallery wrapped canvas, 12 x 16, this was painted en plein air at Old Airport in Kona, looking away from the ocean. The introduced fountain grass and Haole Koa dominate the landscape, along with a few Kiawe trees, and of course the much loved but also introduced beach heliotrope. The Maiapilo, which I photographed at the nearby national park in a similar habitat, has not yet returned to this area. Hence the picture is to some degree, wishful thinking, but it certainly could grow here. The birds are also introduced - the charming grey francolin were brought in along with practically everything else you see in this picture.
