"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.
