Description
Cocktail art in still life motif of a Blue Hawaiian with flowers, fruit, and hula girl figurines. Bar art created for this unique collection of artist Steve Simon is a somewhat unusual theme for the landscape painter. Simon's usual attention and passion for the landscape and the essence of a given place is directed instead at the beverages which have in part become part of the places themselves. A Blue Hawaiian drink is framed in this cocktail art still life with various items we have come to associate the Hawaiian Islands with. Sea shells, tropical flowers, pineapple, macadamia nuts, and, of course, hula girls for a bit of whimsy accent the feeling of Hawaiian aloha. A tranquil lagoon setting rounds out the composition.

Dear Steve, This is gorgeous and so beautifully colorful. I like the composition w/ the drinks, etc in the foreground. When we were at the Waikiki beach behind the hotel and there was an old , old thin man hanging at the bar wearing a thong. His cheeks were tan and wrinkled but oh, what chutzpah (sp) to walk around like that.
