2018 marks the 40th year of Ironman Word Championship. From 1978 through 1980 the race was held on the island of Oahu, In 1981 the race was moved to the Big Island… keeping the distance the same… a 2.4 miles (3.86 km) open water swim in Kailua-Kona Bay, a 112 miles (180.25 km) bike ride across the Hawaiian lava desert to Hāwī and back, and a marathon (26 miles 385 yards, 42.195 km) run along the coast of the Big Island from Keauhou to Keahole Point and back to Kailua-Kona, finishing on Aliʻi Drive

Each year for the last ten years I have done an original painting commemorating the athletes, the event and the Big Island. This year’s piece expresses joy, excitement, movement, and the emotion of color. Good luck to all the athletes and those who love and support them!!

This original work of art is acrylic on canvas. The painting itself measures 20x24. I tripled framed it a shadowbox with a turquoise fabric liner to match the color in the painting. The finished size with frame measures 24x28 . Pricing includes shipping and insurance to the US mainland…inquire about worldwide shipping.
