 Dolphin Rescue by Marionette Taboniar copyright ©2022

On a peaceful sunny day, Kailani, a young Hawaiian mermaid came to the rescue of her dolphin friend, Nohea. She had just been visiting her home, the Wai'ahu'akua sea cave near the Na Pali Coast. While washing her hair at the waterfall of God's sacred water, she heard the dolphin struggling to breathe.

She quickly swam right up to his side and saw that his blow hole was blocked. Luckily, her seahorse friend Kaimana, the lio kai was near by. The lio kai's special power is to help those who can't help themselves in the water.

With one hand Kailani embraced Kaimana and let his healing energy flow through her to Nohea. Within seconds the obstruction came flying out, and he was finally able to catch a deep breath. He smiled and thanked Kailani and Kaimana for their help and offered them a ride back to shore where they talked story the rest of the day.

However, this wouldn't be the last time that Kailani and Kaimana would come to the rescue of their fellow sea creatures. Over time they helped many friends escape tangled fishing line and other trash. Kailani now spends her days swimming the ocean off the coast of Kauai collecting and safely disposing of rubbish left behind by the people of planet earth.

If you listen closely, you can sometimes hear her singing her special ocean healing song as she swims with the dolphins. Look closely and you may even see her flip and splash her tail as she dives deep down into another sea cave on her way to a new adventure.

Fun and Whimsical New Art by Kauai Artist Marionette Taboniar

 Lately I've been working on a colorful and whimsical style with my acrylic painting.  I'm really trying to capture how the island of Kauai makes me feel - spiritually, emotionally, and physically.  I hope you will enjoy these new creations!


Bliss - 12"x16" Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas https://www.kauai-fine-art.com/listing/1250325442/tropical-flowers-with-woman-kauai

Ahhhh, the feeling of sheer bliss is experiencing the natural beauty of the islands - especially the colors and sweet aromas of the tropical flowers. Drink in the heavenliness around you and feel the joy of life!

 


 Numila Camp Crotons - 14"x18" Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas https://www.kauai-fine-art.com/listing/1277068642/croton-leaves-kauai-original-acrylic

This was my favorite view of our front porch while living in Numila Camp (also known as the McBryde Camp). My husband lived in this camp on Kauai for over 50 years (while working for the sugar plantation and then for coffee), until we had to move out because the land was sold to developers. We had so many great memories of living in that camp, but I will always remember Joe sitting on the porch feeding the cats while the morning sun streamed through the colorful croton plants and illuminated the leaves. 

 


 Tropical Poipu Garden - 14"x18" Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas https://www.kauai-fine-art.com/listing/1281325548/tropical-poipu-garden-kauai-original

This beautiful, tropical scene reminds me of a fairy tale garden. The lady that designed this garden has done a wonderful job picking out just the right orchids and tropical plants to create a peaceful oasis to enjoy when you are on vacation. It is located in Poipu across from Baby Beach. 

 


 Beauty at the Beach - 12"x16" Original Acrylic Painting on Canvas https://www.kauai-fine-art.com/listing/1250002263/beauty-at-the-beach-hawaii-original

This lovely young lady is enjoying the breathtaking views along the sand-dune cliffs of the Mahaulepu Heritage Trail. She is experiencing the strong trade winds for the first time as she catches hold of her flower lei and the winds whip up the edge of her dress. She is enamored by Kauai's natural beauty and knows this place will forever hold a special place in her heart. 

 I also have almost 400 prints from paintings that have already sold.  They are available in 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14 and 12x16 direct from me.  You can also inquire about larger sizes, prints on canvas, or prints on metal.  https://www.kauai-fine-art.com/shop
