Pu 'uhonua O Honaunau Beach

My last day painting in Hawaii (February 1 2025) was spent adjacent to a 17' wide, x 10' high x 1000' long black lava stone wall (not in the painting) which was made sacred by ancient Hawaiians. It encompasses 182 acres along the beach in south Kona, Hawaii. Freely translated it is a "Place of Refuge" inside that huge stacked lava wall. 

Stunning surf rolling across the black lava spewed from volcanic eruptions over centuries, echoes the rhythm of this place made sacred. A live spirit still  lives here, like no other place in the Hawaiian Islands.
