    028: 'Hawaiian Fisherman (or 'Hawaiian Net Fisher')' by Gill, created as a diptych during the early 1940's. The art of the never fully identified artist Gill reflects a time period of Hawaiiana during which several artists began employing a method of air brushed stenciling. Through layering complex textures were achieved. Unfortunately, as WWII enfolded, artist materials became of lesser quality and consequently few originals have been preserved. With his stylized renditions of Hawaiian figures this native of San Francisco charms today's viewer as much as those during his heydays!
    029: 'Surfing Waikiki,' from a Bartlett Woodblock print. ca 1930's, showing Waikiki surfers in action on their classic longboards in the first half of the last century against the backdrop of a Pacific sunset. Hawaiian Days is the premier publisher of vintage Hawaiian surfing prints and surf posters, such as 'Surfing Waikiki.'
    030: 'Woman with Fish' by Gill. Print based on airbrush paining from the early Forties. In spite of its unassuming title (it's also known as 'Wahine With Basket of Fish) this painting has become one of the most famous and popular images produced by Hawaiiana artist Gill.
