This captivating watercolor by artist John Kelly portrays the skillful navigation of waves in an outrigger canoe and the paddlers' movements harmonizing with the rhythmic pulse of the ocean.  Originally designed as a menu cover for Matson Lines, the colors of the sail encapsulate the allure of the islands, where the art of surfing meets the sophistication of ocean liners. Kelley was known for art depicting the daily lives of Hawaiian people and island scenes. Matson Lines and Hawaii-based hotels commissioned him to design menu covers, promotional art, and prints.
