Ra'atira translates to "Dance Chief" in the Tahitian language. This painting is done with Prismacolor colored pencils on olive tinted La Carte sanded paper. The size of the original is 18 x 24.5"
Stefan is the Ra'atira for the award winning Tahitian Dance Group Otea Api from Freemont, CA. I shot the reference photos for this painting while we were in Kauai practicing for the annual Kauai Tahiti Fete. We won first place awards in several categories.
