Love and Aloha


Love and Aloha
FOR SALE

© 2012 Fannie Narte

Love and Aloha, or The Spirit of Aloha, was inspired by my daughters Ku'ulei and Ku'uipo. Ku'ulei means "Sweet Blossom" and Ku'uipo means "Sweetheart" or "My Beloved." The Spirit of Aloha is about the giving and receiving of unconditional love. This is the kind of love I know. It is the kind of love I was taught by my parents and caring family members and friends. It is the kind of love I try to practice each and every day, though oftentimes imperfectly. It is the kind of love I hope I have taught my daughters and grandchildren. It is the kind of love I hope for all to experience on a regular basis. It is the kind of love that will heal the world.

Love and Aloha. The Spirit of Aloha. Unconditional love.

I am attempting to bring attention to the importance of unconditional love and fearlessness to the world one painting at a time.

Thanks for visiting. I wish you love, hope and peace.

Sisters


This fabric panel was produced from my original mixed media painting.

THE INSPIRATION

Sisters . . . biological . . . friends--kindred spirits.

Ageless.

Someone who listens with an open heart,
Someone who holds your hand while crossing that bridge,
Someone who carries your heart when it's tender,
Someone who knows your weaknesses and never judge,
Someone who listens and speaks the truth,
Someone who brings you flowers on cloudy days,
Someone who forgets your secrets,
Sisters.

My Mother, My Daughter

My Mother, My Daughter
This fabric panel was produced from my original mixed media painting.

THE INSPIRATION

A mother nurtures hearts and develops wings.

A daughter speaks.  A mother listens, quietly. 
A daughter cries.  A mother opens her arms, willingly.
A daughter hungers.  A mother feeds, nutritiously.
A daughter explores.  A mother watches, safely.
A daughter dreams.  A mother dances.
A daughter sings.  A mother celebrates.
They dance.
They sing.
They elevate one another.
They give love.
They share love.
They are love.
