Moon Dance

Original Oil on Canvas

Size 30” X 38”

"Moon Dance" is an iconic original oil painting I created early in my career on Maui and it's now available for you to own.
A private collection inspired by Henri Matisse's, "The Dance."
My influence and focus was on the femininity of Polynesian women and their culture. Dancing on a beach, under the moonlight, enjoying a cool summer's eve. 
This is a rare opportunity to own one of my most sought after paintings.

Please contact me to talk more, I would love to hear from you.

"The Dance" by Henri Matisse
Amongst Henri Matisse's most famous works, Dance is an ode to life, joy and physical abandonment. The composition of dancing figures is commonly recognized as "a key point of Matisse's career and in the development of modern painting."

Martin & MacArthur’s craftsmen have been the premier makers of koa furniture and beautiful home accessories for more than 50 years.

Founded by Jon Martin in 1961, the Company was at the forefront of reviving an appreciation for koa wood
– an exceptionally beautiful species of the acacia genus grown only in the Hawaiian Islands.

Irving Jenkins, author of a book on Hawaiian furniture and Hawai'i's cabinetmakers, calls “Martin & MacArthur the single biggest and lasting influence on the wood-crafting industry in the 20th century.”

“As the largest handcrafter of koa furnishings in the world, Martin & MacArthur has played an important role in keeping alive the traditions of classical Hawaiian furniture.”

Martin & MacArthur’s Hawaiian lifestyle collection offers home accents and accessories that complement their one of a kind handmade furniture. All have been chosen for their superior quality, craftsmanship and attention to detail. When in Hawaii, visit their showrooms on Oahu and Maui to experience first hand the very best Hawaii has to offer.

“Hawaii is one of the most beautiful places on earth, definitely one of the crown jewels of the United States. In homage, I am creating a series of paintings depicting Hawaii’s magnificent landscapes and waterfalls. I am inspired by Georgia O’Keefe’s landscape paintings she created while visiting Hawaii in the 1930s. Hopefully, you will feel her inspiration throughout my new series, depicting different timeless iconic sites hidden throughout the Hawaiian islands.”
