This acrylic, resin and gold leaf painting reminds me of home (Honolulu). The beautiful
“Haku” (Natural wrapped head piece) is worn at times of celebration in many cultures. The background is split in half vertically with an ethnic geometric print on the left and simple neutral texture on the right. The use of blue on the subject’s brown skin lights up the entire face. The artist surrounds the orange berries with blue, making the spheres jump off the page as the two complimentary colors (orange and blue) fight and accentuate each other. Stars glitter from the young girl’s ears and her eyes shine like a bride’s—the most beautiful young woman of the moment.
