Sunbeams filter through crystalline blue water as the honu’s calm gaze meets the viewer’s eye, creating an intimate and almost playful connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"796\" data-end=\"1192\"\u003eDuring the snorkeling excursion, we were reminded to stay at least ten feet away from the turtles, as they are protected by law. This curious honu swam closer and closer, locking eyes with me as I tried gently backing away trying to keep the respectful distance —equal parts awe, respect, and surprise filling the moment. For a brief second, I wasn’t sure what he might do… and then I wondered if he might be flirting. :)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1194\" data-end=\"1482\"\u003eThis painting celebrates that rare intersection of reverence, humor, and wonder that only the ocean can offer. It is a tribute to the spirit of aloha, the intelligence and personality of Hawaiʻi’s marine life, and the unforgettable moments that stay with us long after we leave the water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e * All art and images are copyrighted © Christie Marie Elder Copyright does not transfer with the purchase of the art.
