Haleakala

Haleakala

Oil – 16×20, 1-3/4” deep, stretched canvas on wood. The original is painted on all sides to match the face of the painting.

Maui, Hawaii, volcano called “Haleakala” which translates into “house of the sun.” Commissioned by Sgt. Pullen, a Washington, D.C. Firefighter who took the original photo and provided a copy to me to use as my guide.

There is a lovely and romantic story behind the photo/painting…...

Sgt. Pullen proposed to his then girlfriend high atop this volcano looking out over this spectacular view.. I asked him about the proposal, and in in his own words he said: “We had to leave the hotel at 2:00 am in order to reach the summit by sunrise. It was a long winding trip to the 10,000 ft. summit. On the beach it was 85 degrees. On top of the volcano, it was a balmy 28 degrees! I had the ring in my pocket all week. I was waiting for the right moment. There was no doubt, when that sun came up, that it was the perfect moment. Exactly 18 months later, to the day, we were married at sunset.”
