See You In Hawaii: Bird Painting by kto ART

See You In Hawaii: Apapane with Hawaiian Hibiscus

I gave myself a lot of artistic leeway on the rendition of the 'Apapane in this painting. Sometimes I like to just make the idea of the bird and feature the flower a little more. In Hawaii, we have a lot of different colored Hibiscus, but the yellow with red inside is the state flower.

I imagine this little guy is waiting for new friends to arrive. He thought it best to come prepared with a symbol of the islands, welcoming everyone to come and stay awhile.
