Fishermen’s woman (Huahine harbour)
Huahine, French Polynesia:
Extraordinary moments conversing with the local fishermen’s women in charge of selling the freshly caught fish. Their kindness and sincerity with which they shared their concern about overfishing, their views on the political sell-out by the central government in Tahiti making their “territorial waters” available to foreign trawlers, on their daily sales-schedule: starting by selling in the harbour then driving around the island in their “truck with -fish-in-the-back” delivering to the local community, a small scale balanced effort of catch-and-eat.

A sea-breeze of quality and ethnic research, the subject is simple and the use of color intense. With the brilliant blues and of the pallets in this painting there is a feeling of life and light contrary to the subject matter.
Sensitive impressionism, skin with lovely sunlight, even the tree is dancing the hula! Love the details enlarged on your blog. Are you the next Gauguin?
