Description
When flying into Maui, Hawaii, planes approach the airport from the south, into the northerly breezes or winds. The airport is in Kahului.
This is the view passengers have when looking down from above the clouds. Haleakala rises on the right side of the plane (the top of painting). The West Maui Mountains are on the left. The center section of Maui is called the isthmus, which was under the sea about a million years ago!
Today, there is both farming and industry, as well as thousands of dwellings and businesses, in this flat section. Homes are on the hillsides, as are several golf courses.
Great resorts and hotels hug the shorelines with thousands of visitors each year. Each is looking to enjoy this place often called Paradise.
This painting was created using watercolor pencils. The beautiful blue sea, waves, shorelines, colorful fields, roads and clouds fill the image with color.
