"Ike (pronounced ee'-kay)--The World is What You Think It Is"

This large watercolor, "Ike-The World Is What You Think It Is", is based on the Seventh Principle of Huna, by the same name. The faces are taken from early artist's renderings of Polynesians as the Europeans viewed them as they arrived in the Islands with Captain Cook. The person (or people) in the painting are moving from a state of po (darkness, sightlessness) to a state of la (vision, light), in which they realize that they are an integral part of the natural and supernatural world, interrelating with all that is around them. Their spirit guide has a halo word, "malamalama" (a light of knowledge or epiphany), above his head as he gently leads into a world of beauty, love, surprise, challenge, humor, terror and wonder.



Collection of Cliff Gray, Eugene, Oregon.

"First Shirt", watercolor.

The first of Paliuli's floating shirt series, this watercolor was destroyed in a fire at theAkaka Falls Gallery, Bed and Breakfast and School of Cooking, in Honomu, Island of Hawai'i. The fire completely destroyed the complex of businesses.

This floating shirt watercolor was done as a faceless portrait of two friends, Four Arrows and Beatrice Jacobs.

Sometimes the images in Paliuli's floating shirt series are other than aloha shirts.



In this watercolor, the artist has created a "portrait" of his kumu hula, Patrick Makuakane, by depicting lessons learned as images on a simple t-shirt. "Kumu Shirt" is in the collection of Patrick Hammond, Los Angeles, California.
In the 1990s, Paliuli created a series of twenty floating Hawai'ian shirt watercolors, in full watercolor-sheet format.



This watercolor, "Floating Shirt", was a favorite of that series, and is in the collection of Mark and Mimi Stegner, Gilbert, Arizona.
"Betty Boop at the Green Gulch Farm", watercolor.



Studies of flowers and gardens draw Paliuli to paper, water and pigment. This watercolor, "Betty Boop at the Green Gulch Farm" is in the collection of Pete Beckwith and Jaryn Barker, Oakland, California.
"Roses", watercolor



A very different study of a very different rose, this watercolor, "Roses" is in the collection of Dr. Charles Irwin and Nancie Kester, Berkeley, California.
