Hana, On Time
12"x16" | Oil on Board | Framed
Brief rain showers are a part of everyday life on Maui. They are also the reason for the lush tropical landscape one will find on her southeastern shoreline. Also to be found there is the historic sleepy town of Hana, where paniolos still herd cattle and locals and visitors enjoy a quiet tranquility.
For a time, Hawaiian Airlines served the little Hana airport which featured a unique ‘everything under one small roof’ terminal building. The terminal still operates more than 70 years later.
This painting depicts the arrival of one of Hawaiian’s DC-3s, circa 1956, operating flight 710 from Honolulu and Kahului. The rain has just stopped. Some of the arriving passengers will soon be enjoying lunch, tropical cocktails and the quiet garden scenery at the famous Hotel Hana Maui.
This is a special place for me. My first trip to the islands almost 60 years ago included a week long stay in Hana. Still remembered are some of the great people I met there who made visitors feel like family… Bernadette who would talk story and take kids to the theatre, Tiny who played the cello and tended bar I think (..not sure, I was 10) Lovey, Tony and Alberta and of course Harry Hasegawa.
