Lae O Na Kohola (Cape of Whales) 24 x 24 in. oil on canvas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

On the Northwest side of the Hawaiian island of Kaho`olawe is Ahupu Bay, whose Western point is called Lae O Na Kohola, or Cape of Whales. There, the great leviathans return in yearly consort to make connections with one another. To win paternity. To begin Maternity. To give birth and protect the newborn. \u00a0To establish lineage and once again venture Northward to the yearly feeding grounds, where they will fatten to return again and renew the cycle.<\/p>\n

Here, I’ve depicted one of the majestic Kohola, or humpback whales, breaching in the fiery dawn of a typical Hawaiian sunrise. \u00a0Here is a detail section from the larger painting:<\/p>\n

Detail from Lae O Na Kohola (Cape of Whales) by Ronald Lee Oliver<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This painting was achieved\u00a0in one session, or “alla prima,” an artsy Italianate term for “at once.” \u00a0It requires that the artist have a good idea of where they are going before they first lay brush to canvas. \u00a0I toned the canvas with a mixture of transparent orange and burnt sienna the night before, which allowed it to dry and act as an underlying accent color. \u00a0The overnight drying time ensured it would not smear and mix with the strokes of color placed on top.\u00a0Most of the colors in the upper layer\u00a0are transparent oil paints, as opposed to opaque tints, which allows for a certain depth and serendipitous atmosphere that can’t be achieved with the opaque pigments.<\/p>\n

This painting is 24 x 24 inches and is framed in a complimentary black frame with matte and glossy accents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
