"Kuokoa ana" AKA "Recognition" C@2015 - 16"x 24" original oil on fine portrait linen by Loren D. Adams Makawao, Hawaii, United States A Coastal landscape with a sea cave and surge of foaming surf within and on the reef. There is a featured transparent wave with foam laced patterns over a shallow sandy shoal and a sandy beach in the foreground. Bougainvilleas and lots of other flowering foliage engulf the entrance to the cave and a Brig under sail is in the distance, while gulls circle the shore… The title is the Hawaiian term for the word: "Recognition of the presence"
