For the Hawaiiana fans, here is a clean Hale Pua anthuriums print, 13 3/4" by 10 3/4" (24 1/2" by 20 1/2" framed).

The color seems to be just printed on rather than airbrushed, the signature, likewise. You need a magnifying glass to tell the difference. If you are looking for the decorative Hawaiiana look, you can't go wrong with th...
