“Kalani`opu`u”, 2005, watercolors and crayons on Arches paper, 26”x20”; is my imaginary portrait of the aging High Chief of Hawaii and Uncle of Kamehameha The Great. In his prime, Kalani`opu`u launched several ambitious but ill-fated invasions of Maui. He was in his sixties when Captain Cook, in an equally doomed effort, tried to take him hostage in Kealakakua Bay on February 14, 1779.
