Edwin Kayton, an amazingly talented and loved Hawai'i Island artist, did this painting from life … with his easel set up on the mauka side of the road, facing Kona Historical Society's H.N. Greenwell Store Museum. A rainstorm drenched him on the last day of painting. He, of course, then added the figures in his studio at home.
This artwork perfectly tells the story of Kalukalu. By the end of the 19th century, Kalukalu became the headquarters of Kona's largest cattle and sheep ranch. The homestead was surrounded by cattle pens, a blacksmith shop, a saddle house, and carriage houses. As a bustling hub of commerce, H.N. Greenwell and his general store worked with vendors, farmers, purveyors and customers from the many different cultural groups moving to Kona to make their way. Chinese cooks, Hawaiian sheep-herders, Portuguese launderers, and others did business in the general store and shared their languages, foods and values.

Mahalo Edwin Kayton and Verna Keoho for your support!
