This one isn’t for sale. I painted this in 2007 and its my favourite of all the faces I’ve painted so far.

This is from a series called “Portraits”. These images were made to show us that there are so many possibilities in nature to find beauty. I wanted to show the life in these still life portraits.

The Ca D’Zan The sixth of the seven Ringling brothers of Baraboo, Wisconsin, John Ringling was one of the founders of the famous circus.

Combining their love for Sarasota with their love of baroque art, they decided to build a museum on the estate grounds and fill it with the finest paintings and objects that they could ever buy. When John Ringling died, he left to the State of Florida over 600 paintings, including the world’s largest private collection of works by Peter Rubens, and lots of other objects – prints, drawings, sculptures, antiques, pottery, jewelry, and furniture. Today, visitors from around the world visit this wonderful complex looking over Sarasota Bay.

Our dearest friend Bully Ho’opai Bully and Jacob are life long friends and brothers in spirit. / Bully and his lovely wife Kappy live in Hana. Here at the Hale ‘O Pi’ilani Heiau we are standing on Bully’s family land. He offered a personalised tour of the sacred grounds for my sister as she was visiting us here on Maui. It was wonderful to hear his fascinating stories of the ancient history of this beautiful and remote area which is now protected. The tropical botanical garden, Kahanu Garden is a research facility and hold’s the world’s largest collection of Ulu, (Breadfruit) with many varieties of mature trees, each one of which is categorized and labeled. The monumental Hale ‘O Pi’ilani Heiau is the largest ancient temple and place of worship for the Polynesian people in the Hawaiian Islands. “Kahanu Garden has a large emphasis on ethnobotany and houses the collection for the Breadfruit Institute of NTBG. Planted in orchard-style plantings, many of the breadfruit trees are the first plants that visitors see upon entering the garden’s gates. With over 130 varieties of breadfruit collected from over twenty islands, the Institute is working to promote the use of these trees to fight hunger throughout the world. The uses of these trees are varied; edible fruits, wood for canoes and tools, dried flowers to repel mosquitoes, and sticky gum for chewing or catching birds, are just some of the functions. In an effort to distribute these trees world-wide, the Institute is working to put select varieties into tissue culture and has already shipped over 3,000 plants to impoverished countries. Balancing the reverence deserved of a sacred site, along with the needs of plant collections and the impact of visitors, can be a challenge. Kahanu Garden serves as a link between the local Hawaiian residents and their culture, while also serving visitors from around the world. To aid in this, local people are able to enter the gardens without charge. Plus, with little signage or advertising, the garden attracts primarily visitors who are willing to seek them out. The beautiful coastline views, great ethnobotanical collections, and rich cultural history of the Kahanu Garden definitely made it worth our efforts in seeking it out.” Information Source More information may be found here / “Kahanu Garden in Hana serves as the guardian for an important archaeological site, the enormous, centuries old stone temple known as Hale ‘O Pi’ilani Heiau. A 500-acre natural sanctuary with vast, well trimmed lawns, this National Tropical Botanical Garden preserves an entire stretch of gorgeous coastal land. Two distinct garden areas deserve separate mention. One is its small forest of breadfruit trees. Kahanu Garden maintains the world’s largest collection of this important food crop of the Pacific. Because it contains 130 distinct varieties gathered from 20 tropical island groups, this collection serves as a “germplasm repository” for a culturally important plant whose variety reflects untold generations of human history. Distinct from this collection is the Canoe Garden, an assemblage of all the useful plants that the early Polynesian settlers brought to Hawaii and depended on for the prosperity of Maui Nui’s native culture. As with the breadfruit collection, the intent here is to preserve the genetic diversity of these plants – 40 different types of ko, or sugar cane, for example, and many unusual types of mai’a, or banana. Other culturally important plants gathered from the surrounding countryside and preserved here include ‘uala (sweet potato) kalo (taro), ulena (turmeric), and wauke (paper mulberry, used to make kapa cloth). Self-guided tours are available Monday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. The tour is 1/2 mile long and takes about 1 1/2 hours. There is a $10.00 per person fee and reservations are not required. Children 12 yrs. and under free. Two-hour guided tours are available on Saturday mornings only. Reservation with a credit card are required. The cost is $25.00 per adult with children under 12 free. “ / More information may be found here Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi / Shooting Date/Time 03 May 2009 14:48:32 / Tv 1/200 Av 5.6 ISO 100 / Lens EF28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM / Focal Length 100.0 mm

This is one of a series of photos I took to prepare for my painting series The Markendeya Story Photographed around Mrs Macquarie’s Point, Sydney. This particular shot wasn’t used in the final painting series as once I began preliminary drawings it became apparent this image didn’t work for the paintings.
