O’Keeffe traveled to Hawai’i from New York visiting different islands to paint pineapples for Dole. On Oahu she was not allowed to stay on a working pineapple plantation. Women didn’t do that kinda thing then. So, she left for Maui where she went directly to Hana staying on the Kaeleku sugar plantation. Hana at that time had a population of 3500, two cinemas, three barbershops, restaurants, and even a pool hall. Not so today, but Hasegawa’s General Store, where she bought her famous straw hat, still stands.
From Hana she explored sea caves, ruins, beaches, and Haleakala Crater. She visited Oheo Gulch and it’s Seven Sacred Pools, swam in a cave near Waianapanapa Beach, and painted two lava bridges. One of the lava bridges is just south of Hana on the Coastal Trail. After nine weeks in Hawai’i, O’Keeffe returned to Manhattan where she finished her works on papaya, heliconia, a fish hook, but no pineapples. Dole was a bit upset but had a whole pineapple couriered to her by seaplane. Pineapple she did then paint.
