Distinctive

A large black-haired hula girl seated on white rocks at the left, playing a yellow ukulele, dominates the lower left corner. A second blonde woman with a red hibiscus and pink lei leans in from the lower right. Between them a red-and-white striped hula hut on the beach frames a dancer standing inside its curtains.
