A contemporary impressionist painting of this black sand beach near south on the slopes of Mauna Loa, "Punalu'u" by Margaret Stanton, is home to the honu, giant sea turtles. This amazing black sand beach is in one of the most remote places on the Big Island of Hawaii, 30 miles from Volcanos National Park, near South Point.

"Punalu'u"


This is a very remote and exquisite place on the Big Island. I don't  think there is anybody living here or anything much else except  roadside restrooms and a monument - remote. There is what remains of  what was the busiest port on the island in the 1800's. There are  groves of coconut palms, now, a sign that people had lived here.   Beautiful fishing ponds hug the black sand beach that curves around  the inlet. From here the land slopes steeply up the side of Mauna  Loa, this planet's largest mountain mass and a still active, growing  volcano. This is the first place you come to on the South Point side  of the Volcano National Park.  Pele didn't take this place.
Punalu'u is a pristine place on a rough, wild edge. I can feel that  peace along with it's vulnerability. It's like a place in time that  will be no more.
I feel passion for this place. If you feel passion for the place or  subject of your painting, it will come through in the work, and it  will show in the joy that you feel working.
