"Lahaina(Lahaina means “merciless sun of the land)i ka malu ‘ulu o lies in the sahade of the breadfruit trees...Lele" "breadfruit shade of Lele" (is the very best) artwork is a vibrant and colorful painting that features a tropical landscape. The sky is rendered in shades of red and orange, suggesting a sunsetting effect. The foreground is populated with tall palm trees, their fronds displayed with a variety of greens, blues, and hints of black, creating a sense of depth and movement. The leaves and grass tufts are detailed and brushy, while the background sky's smoother gradient contrasts with this texture. The right side of the painting includes a round white-yellow glow, which could be interpreted as the sun or moon, partially obscured by the palm trees. The overall feel of the painting is warm and exotic, with a strong emphasis on the lushness of the tropical vegetation against a dramatic sky.

This painting rendering depicts the firer of the village as it destroys the town of Maui, a paradise  along the beaches of Hawaii. 

*See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lahaina,_Hawaii#Name: Lahaina was originally called Lele in Hawaiian^[5] and was known for its breadfruit trees.^[6] Lele means jump or fly.

  "In 1915, James N.K. Keola, in an article he authored in Mid-Pacific Magazine entitled "Old Lahaina" wrote: "Lahaina is said to have received its name from La, the sun, and haina, merciless. A bald-headed chief who lived at Kauaula Valley, while going to and fro without a hat, felt annoyed at the effects of the scorching rays of the burning sun. He looked up and gazed into the heavens and cursed at the sun thus: "He keu hoi keia o ka la haina!"
