American
1940s
Oil on board
Height 9 3/4" (24.8 cm) x Width 12" (30.5 cm) including koa wood frame
Provenance: Private collection, Diamond Head, HI
Don F. Palmerton was a Honolulu artist active in the mid-20th century who painted Hawaiian landscapes with a warm, atmospheric palette characteristic of the period. This small oil on board depicts palms in the foreground against a sunset view of Waikiki and Diamond Head, a subject that Palmerton returned to with evident familiarity and affection. The work is signed and titled "Waikiki and Diamond Head" by the artist.
The painting is presented in a custom koa wood frame that complements both the Hawaiian subject matter and the warm tones of the composition. At its intimate scale the work conveys a distinctive sense of place, the silhouetted palms and glowing sky capturing a characteristic quality of Hawaiian evening light. The Diamond Head provenance connects the work directly to the landscape it depicts.
