This Forest Is My Cherished Love Hula Dancer Watercolor Art Print 8x10” AJJ Arts

This Forest Is My Cherished Love Hula Dancer Watercolor Art Print 8x10” by artist Alessandra Jann-Jordan at AJJ Arts Artist’s inspiration: Amazed by a hula dancer’s kinesthetic control and enraptured by their grace, I painted this hand motion and inward-looking gaze because it speaks to me of grace and control. (Fun fact: This is my first hula dancer painting.) In the background are depicted the kukui nut tree, the ‘ohi’a ai (mountain apple) tree, Ti and ‘awa plants, for which I came to appreciate the ethnobotanical significance when I studied to be a docent tour guide for a Honolulu arboretum. I am considering here, how a hula dancer sometimes dances to connect to a place and the significance which plants carry in a place. In this painting, is represented an imagined time where the hula dancer experiences a moment of introspection, whereby expressions of grace, purity, and love for the forest - a place she cherishes - abounds. Prints are 8x10” and come matted (outer size is 10x12”), printed on archival Watercolor Bright White paper.
