Celebration of Arts

This acrylic painting, done by Molokai artist Linda Johnston, captures the Molokai band Na Ohana Hoaloha during one of their weekly performances at Coffees of Hawaii. Johnston first decided to paint the musicians of Molokai ten years ago. This particular painting took three weeks to complete the actual painting. The original three foot by two foot painting is currently on display at Coffees and Na Ohana used the image as a cover for their recently released debut DVD titled “Pretty Old for Our First Time,” produced by Aka`ula School. Johnston’s work can be found for sale at the Molokai Artist’s and Crafter’s Guild in Kaunakakai and on her websites  www.molokai-art-hawaii.com and www.stdamienofmolokai.net.
