This oil painting was painted by my mom in 1990 or 1991. She painted it from an photograph I took while on my usual vacation to Kona, on Hawaii's big island in those days. My mother always enjoyed natural lighting and natural hues of gold, yellows, and plant inspired greens, sky blues. It is really from her that I got my appreciation of nature and is really the root, in my Bucks county childhood years on the farm that placed me in the environmental industry. In fact, HTS funds paid for the materials for the project. It was always displayed in a magnificent gold frame, which is now lost. oil on canvasapprox. 36" wide1990
I gave this painting to my second wife as a memento upon my departure from PEI in fall, 2008. She is Michelle Rene Sexton, of Charlottetown, PEI. It is a fitting gift as Shel was the heart of my life, and the root of the new life I lead in Arizona from fall 1994 until March of 2004. The painting along with "Scarecrows" was always displayed in the family mansion in Maryland. Later, Arizona, our apartment on PEI, now in Shel's place there. It is a powerful image of wealth, nature, two marriages, and a bygone era.
