Hawaiʻi Days is a vibrant collection of watercolors and writings by Bro Halff, capturing the beauty of the Hawaiian Islands’ scenery and historic buildings, and the life-affirming attitude of its people. This book, and its companion volume, Hawaiʻi Visions, present diverse landscapes and townscapes in one of Earth’s most beautiful places. The author, a long-time resident of Hawai’i, shares with readers, in prose, poetry, and over 100 luminous paintings, his impressions of the island archipelago, including rural areas, towns, and Honolulu. Mr. Halff captures patterns of daily life among Hawaiʻi residents, as well as the experiences of visitors. He portrays the good-natured humor and love of the land that distinguish the people of Hawai’i. This volume is a captivating journey to secluded and well-known corners of the islands, and a spiritual odyssey that offers perceptions and insights that delight and refresh the reader.

Robert Pincus, former Arts Critic of the San Diego Union-Tribune, called Mr. Halff’s artwork “impressive in its variety...traces of e.e. cummings’s whimsicality are in his lines...”

Richard Hamburger, the late Artistic Director of the Dallas Theater Center, described Mr. Halff’s work as “joyful and sensitive poetry... with a Haiku-like quality that implicitly tells us to seize the present moment.”
