Artist: Perry S. Buchalter 2003
Title : Natures Gifts 15
Size : 28"x 20"
Media: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Wai & Naome Seumalo

This is the fifteenth painting in this natures gifts series and was done as a gift for Wai and his family. The symbolism in this picture represents his family and his love for diving, the ocean, and music. The triangular structure of this painting represents the trinity for the faith that Wai carries with him, the structure for their family. The wave is on the guitar because this is where Wai rips. He is a free diver and goes deep, as depicted in the center of the painting. The sunrise over tropical landscape, lush with banana and Kalo, symbolizes the family's Samoan lineage with four coconut trees, one each for wai, his wife, his daughter, and son.
