Each year I do an original painting commemorating the Ironman World Championship. This year my theme is “Reach for the Stars”. You’ve made it here…Kona... This is what you’ve worked so hard for. In this piece the tribal tattoos symbolize strength and tradition. Rising against a backdrop of The Big Island. Be strong, be determined, Ka'ili'polo'ahi'lani!! Reach for the Stars!!!

This signed artist proof on canvas measures 11×14 and is framed in a dark bronze ( almost black) aluminum frame.

When I print a limited edition on canvas it is customary to print a few “test runs” to check color, type of canvas, etc. I usually do them smaller, sometimes the same size as the edition, but more often than not they are a quarter to half the size of the original. Any that aren’t up to my standards are destroyed . The ones that do reflect the final issue are noted as an “artist proof”. There are never more than 10 of these, usually less. Also they are usually not a standard size so that is why I have them mounted and custom framed.

Certificate of Authenticity is included.
