LAHAINA FUN, ORIGINAL OIL 8x10, MAUI #26

I have been thinking a lot about the experiences I shared in Lahaina and one most important one is the FUN that Lahaina had to offer. You never knew if there was someone dressed up walking the streets or if a parade celebrating a National or Hawaiian holiday was going to start. During Halloween, the streets were filled with crazy and funky costumes on people going to try to win the costume contests in the restaurants, bars and nightlife. July 4th was filled with celebrating America and nowhere else will have fireworks but, LAHAINA!!! New Years would also be filled with celebration. There would be fun old cars that would follow down on Front Street in an assembly line to get the OH's and Ahh's that we all know everyone feels when looking at the shiny old vehicles. I was always partial to the turquoise convertible Ford's! My first car was a Chrysler LeBaron convertible that ended up going on fire! It's a funny story but, not for now! LOL.. But, the point is that there is nothing like riding in a car with the top down! LOOK CLOSELY AND INSTEAD OF SUNLINER IT SAYS LAHAINA! These ladies in the vehicle are wearing Lei's and waiving to get everyone in the celebratory mood.

Lahaina was the only place to go to go out on the town in MAUI. It was the only town that you can stay up till the wee hours of the night. When my husband and I were dating, this was our fun night out to go dancing. We would meet and go to dinner, watch the sunset, and find a club to go dancing at. Lahaina was filled with FUN and happy people looking for a good time and to celebrate life. The ocean, the boats at rest in the Harbor and Lapperts Shave Ice gives this piece the perfect reference to Lahaina.

This painting is a memory to remind us of all the fun times we all had in this town.
