Ae'o Flies in for the Turning of the Tide

When I got there it was low tide and the pond was empty and dry. It was occupied by a woman in a beach chair and her small dog. The high surf suddenly began splashing in to fill the pond as the tide rose. The woman and the dog fled and the ae'o or Hawaiian Stilt flew in almost simultaneously. I felt privileged to be there for a priceless transitional moment.

"A Sense of Place"
Acrylic, 12 x16

“A Sense of Place” is about the little beach in front of the Kawaihae Canoe Club and along side the harbor. I have been coming here for 68 years and seen it through many phases. Mostly I have heard of this simply as the “Harbor Beach”, but it also has been called Honouli, which could mean “bay with deep blue (or dark) water”.


I have a deep sense that something here transcends the different meanings it has to the countless human, animal, plant, and bird tenants that have come and gone throughout time. Some of those are in the painting. Seemingly tranquil, this place fits the definition of a beach that I remember from high school science: “a deposit of material in transit”. Storms have altered this place many times, and some of them have been weather and some human and governmental. Before the harbor there was a lovely place that people lived. They had no choice in losing their homes to the development. Much history, and therefore turmoil,  has taken place here, but the ageless tranquility remains. There are stories about the old days here at
