I tend to work a lot in silhouette when I’m doing landscapes – I like the ‘atmosphere’ to be the thing that draws the eye in. My whanau and I recently spent a couple of glorious weeks in Samoa and this is one of the works that resulted. Dusk is my favourite time of the day (I’m sure dawn would be too, but it’s just too damned early) – as the heat goes out of the day and the light gets more intense the birds and animals begin their final song before resting for the night. We will be going back to Samoa, that’s for sure. Landscape and trees from digital photo, the sky and clouds are all mine and created in Photoshop.

A sunset behind the towered buildings of a city casts but shadows and variants of grey and whilst there is life every where, varied textures of greens are to found in the setting sun of the islands, it lifts the smell of flowers and the sound of a breeze though the trees! :)

Elvis had his Blue Hawaii in 1964. In 2008 we present to you Blue Sunset a different vibe totally minus the brill cream as well, though still ready to relax out with a ukelele or two!

The Marquesas or traditionally called “Te Fenua ‘Enata” or “Te Henua Kenana” respectfully, meaning “The land of men”. The Marquesas Islands are the island group farthest from any continent in the world, lying between 400 and 600 miles (600 and 1,000 km) south of the equator and approximately 1,000 miles (1,600 km) northeast of Tahiti. (Wikipedia) A island that still holds many mysteries within its landscape!

Every child I passed on the roads of Samoa, straight after school had the biggest grin on their faces, they slowly would make their way home along the gravel and dirt street or leisurely along the beach, unless they were running in a group to get the best vantage point to jump into the local rock pool! Aaah Samoana days! :)

Aaaaah, a relaxing morning is all one wants, but more could be afforded if your view was such, across the turquoise blues and greens of a Tahitian shore, it would truly be selfish to ask for more. What else could you want then Coffee, fruit, flowers and food ?

Not many of Rarotonga’s Tiki’s, such as these have survived into the 20th and 21st Centuries. Housed behind glass and in dark corners with in the recesses of a museum collections do they now stand! My Collage displays it within a context of colour and movement not an object of web and dust collecting.

This Collage was inspired by the writings of Celestine Hitiura Vaite’, Tahiti’s most notable literary star, who dwells in Australia. My wife & I have had the opportunity to make friends with her some years ago and have painted her portrait in the mean time. This image along with others was submitted as proposals for her (Australian release) book covers. This collage for the third book in her trilogy “TIARE’”, the other books being “Breadfruit” & “Frangipani”. / Whilst the main character in the book is indeed a girl named “TIARE’” , the grand daughter of “Matarena and Pito”, Tiare’ is also the name given to one of Tahiti’s most beautiful flowers, seen here behind the ear of Tiare’ herself (middle of the collage), Grandparents Matarena and Pito walking besides her, towards a Fare (hut) in the distance. A beautiful flower and a even more beautiful story from which this image is inspired from. /

” ‘O Savai’i ‘o le motu moni o le ōlaga faigatā o Sāmoa.” The island of Savaii is a relatively unspoilt and beautiful place, clean and inviting. This photo is of a beach fale’ ( samoan hut/house ) upon a beach on the north coast of Savaii, the largest of the Samoan islands. If you ever go there, don’t go looking for the hotels in the islands with their conveniences, go to the villages, met the people support the local economies and stay in their Fale’s, to know a place, you must meet and know its people. I can’t wait to i go back!

The Lone Fisherman From Fiti. Fiti being the ancient name for modern day Fiji. This Fisherman is on his Va’a ( outrigger) chasing a dashing fish, riding the slow heaving surf, he calmly chases his prey.

We men like to think of ourselves as pretty cool. like the earth revolves on an axis of us! – not likely! – hehe! But as i look into the communities every where, i see women more so then men, being the ties that bind families, communities. That indwelt spirit of solidarity and preservation for those abouts them, the resolve to sacrifice if need be in order for those around them to not go without! This is not a diss on men, we simply need to grow up, stop being selfish and step to the plate of life, then women wouldn’t be burdened with our short comings! Wahine – Hawaiian and Maori word for women or female, immovable Wahine! Immovable Wahines!

I have traveled to Samoa a few times now, the first time I caught a ferry from Upolu island to Savaii island, which was when i noticed a few other smaller islands doting the sea scape, they being Manono and Apolima. Manono in particular captured my imagination, whilst being larger then Apolima, is an island so small that it has no roads and so no cars, no restaurants, a few small shops selling basic things and with it the welcome of its local inhabitants. Traditional va’a’s (canoes) are used daily by the men to spear fish swimming through the reefs. No dogs are allowed on the island and so as you could imagine it is a peaceful and serene place, where every attempt to retain it’s natural environment is being taken. Manono is only 20mins or so by ferry from Upolu and presents the visitor with a casual walk of a few hours to circle the entire island, there is much more to Manono, but i think you will have to find that out for your selves!
