Kailua artist\u2019s \u201cRetro Hawaii\u201d exhibit at Ho\u2018oma- luhia Botanical Garden gallery showcases beautiful paintings of the Waikiki Beach Days of the 1930s and \u201940s, as well as the \u201960s.<\/p>\n

\u201cI named it that because I started painting some of the old Waikiki Beach surfing photos of the past,\u201d explained Marti Wiese Rounds. \u201cI decided I would paint them and do a new twist. I tried to use a photo that was recognizable, but I used a different color scheme and have an unusual technique and style.\u201d<\/p>\n

Modernistic is the term Rounds uses to describe her artwork, which has a somewhat abstract rendering. \u201cI say it because you can still recognize that it\u2019s a person, or it\u2019s Diamond Head, but it\u2019s done in a different way. The way that I rendered them, you can\u2019t tell who\u2019s who.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve got Elvis in there when he was in Hawaii making movies, and I also have some old restaurants, and I painted their matchbooks \u2014 restaurants like Coco\u2019sandTahitianLanai.\u201d<\/p>\n

About 65 people attended the show\u2019s reception Sept. 9 in the park visitor center, and Rounds was pleased with the turnout and reaction. \u201cI\u2019m proud of it, but I was just absolutely beaming with their reactions to what they were seeing, and what I had done. It<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

was really fresh and new, and I think that\u2019s what\u2019s needed in the art community.\u201d<\/p>\n

For more than 15 years, Rounds was the stylist and colorist at G. Von Hamm Textiles, but during her time here she never created any art. \u201cI always had a whole art staff that did everything, and they\u2019re very good, so I was intimidated,\u201d she confessed. But since her time there, she has followed her own path as a freelance textile artist, creating many works that bring a sense of peace to the viewer.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe photographs are so flat,\u201d said Rounds, \u201cyet when you really see the paintings in person, it draws you in. It\u2019s very unusual.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u201cRetro\u201d also features Rounds\u2019 fabric florals, in which the dye that goes on to the canvas becomes like watercolor.<\/p>\n

\n

The show is open through Oct. 3, and the public is invited to watch Rounds demonstrate her techniques from noon to 2 p.m. Sept. 29-30.<\/p>\n
