FEATURED:   Perhaps the rarest of all the RALPH BURKE TYREE OIL ON BLACK VELVET PAINTINGS, this gorgeous Hawaiian Beach Landscape at Night is fabulous, so simply wonderful and amazing- It is the iconic Pacific Island he loved all of his life.  The artist has captured, on his famous black silk velvet with oils,  a wonderful rocky shoreline landscape, we believe under a full Hawaiian moon, with waves crashing on the rocks, the surf rolling in and out, foaming white on the colored volcanic beach and  boulders. On the cliff are huge bright red Poinciana trees glowing, lighting up the night, and a grove of tall palms nearby waving in the night winds.  One can almost hear the surf crashing onto the shore, feel the salt spray, hear the palms rustling, and see Hawaii by moonlight, Mother Nature at her most beautiful.   If you have ever been to Hawaii during those full moon nights, it really is like a softened daylight, including the sky and landscape- romantic, dramatic and very haunting, just as this tremendous painting is.    We believe this is a painting of his Paia, Maui place, on the North Shore point, where he and his family lived in a rental beach house for about a year, after studying photographs of this area and that little rental home and grounds, which are still intact there...he obviously loved this scene enough to paint it, and it is the only landscape of his we know of and have found anywhere. And perhaps one of his best.  Certainly one of his loveliest, Paradise at Night. BURKE TYREE, as he was known, lived all over the South Pacific for decades, first as a Marine in Samoa during WWII, beginning his art career, painting officers and their families as well as decorating Marine buildings, etc., and then with his family as a professional painter and portraitist.   He did have formal art training at several California art schools, which enhanced his natural talent and creative mind, and opened the doors to his future and success. TYREE had a lifelong love affair with the Pacific islands, traveled to most of them, and painted its inhabitants all his life, moving his family to and from various Islands, painting every day, painting what he saw and loved, whether beautiful innocent island women, old island men, endangered animals or island flowers.  He became hugely popular when the Tiki craze took off, and his velvet paintings graced the best Tiki Lounges and restaurants everywhere, as well as in homes of the Hollywood stars.  He is perhaps the best known of all the "Tiki" artists, and the King of Black Velvet Art, although he was so much more.  This superb piece, dated 1967, signed front and back, with its original black painted oak frame, whose edges he hand-notched,  is a fascinating, very scarce example of why he is so collected and revered today, by museums as well as private collectors world-wide.  Can't make it to Hawaii anytime soon?  Put this on your wall and dream of tomorrow and that island paradise. MEASURES:  Framed:  28.25 inches X 34.5 inches. In the original black painted oak frame that the artist hand-decorated with notches around the edge, Oils on black silk velvet which has been fastened onto a board for stability.  Signed Lower Left, "Tyree" in his iconic signature, and printed on the back with his standard statement of no copies/no duplicates, Burke Tyree, 1967. In amazing condition, looking as if painted yesterday by the artist, this is a large, beautiful scene that captures the movement of the ocean at shoreline, the beautiful tropical landscape seen everywhere in Hawaii, the flowers, and that blue sky and clouds overhead, all vivid at night under a magical Hawaiian full moon.  Put Paradise on your wall and enjoy it year round for the rest of your life.  It can be a state of mind as well as a beautiful painting. We pack your valuables with care for safety and security.
