Description

What a privilege to be able to offer this original art by one of Hawaii's most noteworthy artists, Martha Greenwell.  She is best known for her oil paintings depicting the quiet, tranquil, and hidden aspects of Hawaii. Throughout her life she has loved the idyllic beauty of the Hawaiian Islands, and in her art has captured visions of back roads, fog-shrouded forests, rolling pastures, and pristine beaches.


This oil painting depicts historical Mokuaikaua Church, the first founded and oldest christian church in the state of Hawaii. It was founded by missionaries who came from Boston, Massachusetts on the Brig Thaddeus in 1820. This intimate painting is portrayed from the perspective of Niumalu Beach and Kailua Bay on the north side of Hulihee Palace and will prove to be a cherished piece of artwork in your collection.


The painting alone is 8" x 5" and with the frame it measures approximately 13" X 10".
