Crisp mountain air, pure and fresh invites the senses. An enchanted Olinda Forest, seething with life. Turning leaves fall from the trees like the fluttering wings of a butterfly's dance to an ill-fated end. Back to beginnings. Shoots peak through the carpet of leaves that pave a kaleidoscope of moving color that crunches under my feet as I walk. Shaded by a dense canopy of trees I am enveloped in my surroundings. To capture this emotion on canvas is to take you on a journey to a special place - Olinda, Maui. |
