Puako, Hawai'i

Nicholson’s vibrant images of flowers and Hawaiian landscapes received wide recognition throughout the state. His work reflects the creativity of a prolific painter who continued to explore new methods, color mixtures, and views throughout his life. This colorful painting depicts a southerly view along the shoreline at Paulo, South Kohala. Gentle waves splash against the lava and sand; coconut and kiawe tree groves extend to the water's edge.
