Moe gypsy. ʻO ka haku hana ʻoniʻoni na Henri Rousseau

Me he mea lā ua hōʻike ʻo Henri Rousseau i kahi hiʻohiʻona weliweli. Kolo aku la kekahi mea nana i ke kanaka hiamoe. Akā ʻaʻohe manaʻo hopohopo. No kekahi kumu, maopopo mākou ʻaʻole e hoʻouka ka liona i ka gypsy.

Hāʻule mālie ka mahina ma luna o nā mea a pau. Me he mea lā e ʻālohilohi ana ka ʻaʻahu ʻaʻahu o ka gypsy me nā kala fluorescent. A he nui nā laina wavy ma ke kiʻi. ʻAʻahu ʻoniʻoni a me ka uluna ʻōniʻoniʻo. ʻO ka lauoho Gypsy a me ka mane o ka liona. ʻO nā kaula Mandala a me nā pae mauna i hope.

ʻAʻole hiki ke hoʻohui ʻia nā laina ʻoluʻolu, maikaʻi maikaʻi a me kahi hiʻohiʻona koko. Manaʻo mākou e honi ka liona i ka wahine a hoʻomau i kāna ʻoihana.

ʻIke loa, he primitivist ʻo Henri Rousseau. Kiʻi ʻelua ʻāpana, nā kala ʻālohilohi. ʻIke mākou i kēia mau mea ma kāna "Gypsy".

Akā ʻo ka mea kupanaha loa, ʻo ia ke aʻo ʻana iā ia iho, ua maopopo ka mea pena he mea maoli ʻo ia! No laila ʻo ia mau kikoʻī "ʻoiaʻiʻo": ʻo nā peʻa ma ka uluna mai ke poʻo wahaheʻe, aia ka mane o ka liona i nā kaula i kuhikuhi pono ʻia, ke aka o ka wahine wahaheʻe (ʻoiai ʻaʻole he aka o ka liona).

ʻO ka mea pena kiʻi i pena i ke ʻano primitivist e haʻalele i kēlā mau kikoʻī. He nui paʻa ka mane o ka liona. A e pili ana i na pelu ma ka uluna, aole makou e kamailio iki.

ʻO ia ke kumu ʻokoʻa loa ʻo Rousseau. ʻAʻohe mea pena kiʻi ʻē aʻe ma ka honua i manaʻo maoli iā ia iho he mea maoli, ʻaʻole ʻo ia.
