This item is an original oil painting by local artist Sandra Ambrose. It depicts a colorful view of the land and sea as the sun sets beneath the horizon. One can imagine what a glorious day it has been on Kauai as the tranquil sea laps at the jumbled rocks along the coast. The yellow/red colors at sunset promise another fine day tomorrow as predicted by the old sailors saying "red sky at night - sailor's delight".

This piece of art is an oil painting on a canvas that measures 14" x 17". It should evoke many memories of fine days spent on our beautiful island home we call Kauai.

There are so many wonderful people on Kauai who volunteer their talents for good causes. Just look at Sandra “Sandy” Ambrose. For years, Sandy has been donating her wonderful oil paintings of Kauai scenery to the Lawai International Center online auction, helping to support our mission. Each piece of her painted art is unique and represents the beauty that is Kaua’i. We are so grateful for Sandy’s talent and generosity.

Sandy has also been volunteering with Habitat for Humanity for years, but you won’t find her with a hammer in hand at the job site. Where you will find her is in the studio with a paintbrush in hand creating beautiful artwork for their homeowners. Sandy presents a one-of-a-kind oil painting to every Kaua’i Habitat for Humanity homebuyer as they receive the keys to their brand new home. It’s an amazing act of generosity, and the homebuyers are truly touched by the amount of love and care that is displayed with every brush stroke.

Sandy is just one more example of how volunteer artists make a tremendous impact on our wonderful island community.
