PENU
“PENU” is the Tahitian word given to a pounder, such a pounder was used in the pounding of food, usually that of breadfruit. The “PENU” its self was made of stone (Basalt) or coral. Such implements are still used through out the islands, in the preparation of food.
Some pounders held greater significance within pacific cultures.
Here I have rendered this “PENU” in Oil paint on canvas. This is a painting that is part of a set of three paintings, though it can stand alone as a work within itself, separate of the others.
The painting is 6”x8”inches.

I’m digging those bold strokes. It looks both natural and expressive.
