Three hand-painted coconut tree pods in different stages of development were carefully illustrated in a well-designed piece of art originally created for the Hawaii garment manufacturer Lauhala Sportswear. Younger pods with just the flowers flow out of a long boat-like pod creating the design’s main element.
Two other elements with more mature flowers and small coconuts carefully fit in-between the main pod with younger cascading flowers. Large elements from the coconut tree are not commonly featured but created a bold design with superb detailing and unusual shapes.
Lauhala, owned by E.C. Ching was known for creating exceptional designs depicting Hawaiian flora and fauna.
