The New York Times is running a nice piece today about Georgia O’Keeffe’s time in Hawaii, focusing on her time in Hana.

O’Keeffe, the painter who is known primarily for her still-lifes and landscapes set in the American Southwest, actually spent about nine weeks island-hopping in the late 1930s on a trip funded by the Dole pineapple company.

Although Dole had commissioned her as a commercial artist, she only painted one pineapple — back in Manhattan, after her trip. Check out the full story here.
