A selection of paintings from the Volcano School, a Hawaiian art movement sometimes compared to the Hudson River School.

“The Volcano school refers to a group of non-native Hawaiian artists who painted dramatic nocturnal scenes of Hawaii's erupting volcanoes. Some of the artists also produced watercolors, which, by the nature of the medium, tended to be diurnal. At their best, these paintings exemplify a fusion of the European Sublime aesthetic, Romantic landscapes, and the American landscape traditions.” (Wikipedia)

I just think they’re neat.
