Old Prison, Lahaina

This is where they kept the rowdy prisoners back in the whaling days of Lahaina when 100 ships might be moored off shore. That's a Royal Palm tree in the front. Naturally the drawing took at least a day while the painting took two days. The straight lines were painted by laying the rigger brush along side a straight edge. I painted this picture "Van Gogh in the wind" style, that is, laying it on the ground without an easel. I didn't have a chair back then either, (1979), so I was sitting on the ground.
