Renowned for her compelling watercolors of O'ahu coastlines and landscapes, Juanita Vitousek was a master of wet-on-wet technique; the texture of each facet of a landscape is distinct! The dramatic Ko’olau Mountains are contoured by deep shadows and smooth highlights. Our eye sweeps the surface from the base of the mountains to their heights. A rustic, welcoming homestead is tucked beneath the grandeur of the Windward Ko'olaus with local farmers bringing home their daily harvest. The contrasts in color, texture, and scale reveal Vitousek’s talent for evocative compositions.
