Grace of the Hula ʻAuana measures 9 by 12 inches without frame and is a gouache painting on black multimedia paper. It depicts two dancers captured mid-movement, their backs turned toward the viewer. They wear flowing purple dresses that fall just below the knee, accented with green leaf garlands around their heads and ankles. Their long, dark hair falls freely, merging with the deep tones of their attire. The figures’ raised arms and hand positions suggest a poised dance gesture, conveying grace and rhythm. The background blends swirling shades of purple, blue, and gray, creating an abstract, atmospheric space that amplifies the sense of motion and elegance. A subtle reflection beneath the dancers adds depth, grounding the composition and inviting the viewer into a moment of cultural expression and fluid beauty.
