This depiction of a Hula dancer on a beach has become one of Alex’s more familiar works, seen throughout the state of Hawaii on the cover of the Paradise Pages phone book. Painted on canvas, Aloha! is the only painting ever chosen for the Paradise Pages cover. To appreciate the degree of craftwork in this painting, click on the close-up on the left, below, showing the dancer’s feet (magnified to 125% of the actual size of the original). Even at this larger-than-life size, the clarity of detail is readily apparent. |
