An original oil on canvas created in 2014. Currently I have four of Marian's oil paintings in my collection (last four in the "Originals" section.) I will select three to create a tryptych.
From the hisurf.com website: "The Hawaiian crow known as 'alala is one of the many endangered birds in Hawaii. These Hawaiian crows have once flourished over all the Hawaiian islands in 1891. Now there are less than thirty `alala left in Hawaii. According to the February 15, 1996 issue of the Honolulu Advertiser, the 'alala is down to just 15 birds in captivity and 14 in the wild. The 'alala can be found on a 5,300-acre parcel of Kai Malino Ranch on the Kona Coast of the Big Island, Hawaii." Since this writing, due to captive breeding the population of the alala has doubled as of 2010.
