Interest in the Underwater Kauai in Progress 22 x 30"

A Texas collector of my paintings has expressed an interest in this painting and will have first dibs. There will be prints for sure but first, let's see how it turns out.

They say that the bleaching of the Kauai coral is making a recovery. The ocean floor colors will be as I remember it walking on the reef with my family at low tide. We called it night "torching." My uncle made an overhead kerosene lamp holder which my mother carried on her shoulder and we young children put on our Japanese cloth tabis and followed her with flashlights looking for shells. She was good at spearing octopus too!
