Kahalu'u Honu Giclee

This is a giclee of my "Kahalu'u Honu" piece. There are two available sizes, 11" x 14" for $72, and 8" x 10" for $35. They are both matted, the dimensions are the sizes of the mats. This design is a lino cut. When I get an idea for a piece I research the animals and elements for the design, I will go on excursions with my family on hikes and wildlife journey's to see and photograph the elements I will be using in my art. I spend extensive time on my drawing and composition before transferring and carving into the linoleum block. I then print it onto Japanese rice paper, and carefully hand paint it.
Honu (turtle) feed mostly on algae and dive for limu, a seaweed. They often bask on land during the day and can often be seen grazing along the shore. In Hawai'i, honu are protected and listed as endangered species.
The Saddle Wrasse and the Spectacled Parrotfish are both endemic to Hawai'i.
