"Hau Flotilla", 11"x14" giclee on canvas by Sheree Latif 

A flotilla of hau flowers sails across a tranquil pond, their vibrant colors contrasting with the deep blue background. The artist's brushstrokes dance across the canvas, capturing the delicate beauty of the flowers and the shimmering reflections in the water.

The hau flower is a symbol of Aloha in Hawaiian culture, and this giclee on canvas is a celebration of the islands' natural beauty. The flowers seem to float effortlessly on the water, their petals kissed by the gentle breeze. The blue background evokes the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean, and the overall effect is one of peace and tranquility.

This beautiful piece is a feast for the eyes and a balm for the soul. It is a reminder of the beauty of the natural world and the power of art to transport us to another place and time.
