Latest Original Art by Marionette from Kauai, Hawaii

Introducing my latest collection of original art! These vibrant paintings capture the essence and soul of our beloved Garden Island, Kauai, bringing its colors and spirit to life.

Hibiscus Harmony
 
14"x18" Original Acrylic Painting
 
 
In this painting, my goal was to achieve harmony by arranging the colors in a way that complement each other and create balance in order to please the eye the way music notes are used to create a lovely melody that is pleasing to the ear. I hope this piece evokes the emotions and memories of a warm, sunny day in Hawaii, filled with vibrant colors and the serene beauty of a rainbow. 

Kilohana Friends

12"x16" Original Acrylic Painting

 
One of my favorite activities on Kauai is riding the Kauai Plantation Railway at Kilohana. This charming train winds through lush, vibrant gardens, offering picturesque views at every turn. Along the journey, you’ll make a delightful stop to feed the friendly piggies and other farm animals. And don’t be surprised if the chickens, roosters, and wild pigs leave a lasting impression—they’re a memorable part of the adventure!

I once read that during near-death experiences, some people describe the colors in heaven as beyond anything we can perceive here on Earth. Whenever I look at the vibrant, rainbow-colored croton plants, I’m reminded of those accounts. Their breathtaking colors feel like a glimpse of something divine, a reflection of beauty that transcends our world. It fills me with hope that when my journey here ends, I’ll have the chance to keep creating, to continue being an artist in a realm where colors know no limits.

 


 Honu 'Ohana

11"x14" Original Acrylic Painting

It is truly heartwarming to witness the green sea turtle population on Kauai thriving in recent years. This honu 'ohana is relishing the sunset at Poipu Beach, just as your family would!

 Croton Colors

One of my absolute favorite tropical subjects to paint is the vibrant croton plant. Its rich, rainbow-like colors never cease to amaze me and always ignite my creativity, inspiring me to go wild with the paintbrush! 


I hope you’ve had as much fun diving into my vibrant, sun-kissed Kauai world as I do living it—where every rooster, rainbow, and honu tells a story!

Aloha,
Marionette

New Year - New Art! Kauai Fine Art for 2023 by Marionette Taboniar

We made it to 2023, and I've been busy creating lots of new art!  My favorite paintings are the two beach scenes with ladies because they remind me of me and my personal connection to the ocean and to Kauai.  Let me know which one of my new paintings is your favorite.  I'd love to hear.  I hope you will enjoy these new creations!


"Living the Dream" is now available as a 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14 or 12x16 print.  Custom sizes are also available:  https://www.kauai-fine-art.com/listing/1376572462/beach-woman-kauai-art-print-hawaiian

Whether you were born and raised on Kauai, moved here, or are a visitor, you can be "Living the Dream" like this young lady and feel just as exuberant and blissful every time you dip your toes in the ocean.

 

 

"First Whale Sighting" is now available as a 4x6, 5x7, 8x10, 11x14 or 12x16 print.  Custom sizes are also available: https://www.kauai-fine-art.com/listing/1381141072/beach-girl-with-humpback-whale-hawaii

You know that special feeling you experienced the first time you ever saw a whale breach in person? It's like the 4th of July, Christmas, and New Years all rolled up into one!

 

 
"First Breach" is an original acrylic painting on canvas 16"x20".
 
It's the beginning of whale watching season, and this fella is making his first splash in the ocean on a stormy day. I always enjoy painting these magnificent creatures to welcome them back to the Hawaiian islands every year.
 
 
"Tako Confetti" is an 11"x14" original acrylic painting on canvas.  

Lately I've been intrigued by the shapes and colors of the octopus tentacles and had to try my hand at a colorful abstract featuring what we call in Hawaii tako. 
 
 
Mahalo for taking a peek at my art!  There are many more originals and prints at my main website:
