It's a funky agricultural building of metal and plastic, with plywood walls to hide storage and display art, and to block the wind which whistles through on occasion bringing rain and general dampness. This is a collection of photos of some of the work I've been doing this month. Some of it is still in progress, but most of it is quick sketches from our two weekly life drawing sessions.

These are 20 minute studies:

I'm also indulging in my secret passion and ambition for abstraction; here is the latest attack on an old canvas I keep reworking. A friend pointed out that it looks a lot like Synchronism, a style that was popular in the twenties. He was helped out in this observation by a book on American Synchronism that happened to be on my worktable where I've been studying it.....

These last four are studies in collage, acrylic and pastel on paper. I get very seduced by the prettiness and the sherbert colors, and there is a huge challenge to making them go beyond the look of a wallpaper or fabric design! If you have suggestions email me at arthurjohnsen@hotmail.com please.

I rearranged my furniture a bit, cleared some wall space, and embarked on a set of light and pretty abstracts just for fun and practice. Meanwhile of course we have the Saturday and Tuesday life drawing group which has become my absolute favorite thing, rivaled only by my early morning yoga and dip in the ocean at Kehena Beach.

My collectors Brook and Greg showed up at the studio to pick up my "Blue Surfer" painting. It's a scene of the Red Road, rendered in a very stylized palette of highlights pulled out of an overall royal blue field. I don't know the surfer dude but he happened to walk by one day when I was doing another version of the view, so I snapped his picture.

I had surgery on my shoulder in December so haven't been very active for half a year. So I'm happy to finally have this particular commission 99.9% complete. I think it needs some more contrast, maybe some work on the surfer's face (more Hawaiian??). It's kind of a new direction since it is pushing my interest in metallics and iridescent effects on textured grounds into the realm of figurative art. The border was fun too; I carved a bunch of new stamps in soft linoleum and played with them until I found a sequence I liked, and then collaged rice paper onto the canvas.
I'm attaching some of many sketches for this project, in case anyone thinks this stuff comes easily or quickly (hint, It's taken months....

We sketch from a model, with the longest poses being 20 minutes. This is a great practice and warm up, but can be frustrating, as there is never enough time to do much but block in the figure.
We were inspired by a young model named Alison, from Kalani eco-resort, to schedule a long session, which we are now enjoying every Tuesday morning (10 - 12:30). We've had her three times so far, and are going to draw her again next week. She is an exquisite beauty and makes me think of a girl in an anime drawing. I love the long poses because I can finally get some subtleties into my rendering of flesh tones and anatomy.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3kIF1-MFZhgdMtQT_8T9m7UmpP2iSxE6u0QZO2-hICAeoublqnfDW-CbJ-1d_bJzqo8XjJBtC1KbCS2s7hNW7KpOGfXwJQEJVC6jpJY2kezxzrf4-VnQW_s4vhI5uTxjrkxcGzw/s1600/AlisonMajah.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:1em; margin-bottom:1em"><img border="0" height="304" width="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3kIF1-MFZhgdMtQT_8T9m7UmpP2iSxE6u0QZO2-hICAeoublqnfDW-CbJ-1d_bJzqo8XjJBtC1KbCS2s7hNW7KpOGfXwJQEJVC6jpJY2kezxzrf4-VnQW_s4vhI5uTxjrkxcGzw/s400/AlisonMajah.jpg" /></a>

We'll badly miss our big buddy <span style="font-weight:bold;">Puna</span>, who was the darling youngest son of <span style="font-weight:bold;">Uncle Robert Keli'iho'omalu</span>, the de facto king/prince of Kalapana. His funeral weekend began this afternoon with blaring horns and a parade in front of the Seaview subdivision, with his friends shouting "we love you Puna." I attended the evening pa'ina (party) at Uncle's, which was hugely crowded with family and acquaintances. Puna himself was in an open casket, which you don't see very often, or at least I haven't seen at all except on "6 Feet Under." In a way it was good to be able to say a heartfelt "aloha" to his remains, although very clearly the joyous spirit of the man was all around us much more than it was in the embalmed physical remnant.<br /><br />Puna was one of my favorite models, although I only painted him three or four times in a representational manner. He posed in 2003 for my big mural for the Norwegian Cruise Lines <span style="font-weight:bold;">Pride of Aloha<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span> (since decommissioned.) The photos I took were really more expressive than the mural itself, so I recreated some of the poses as smaller square panels which were in a later show at the Volcano Art Center. None of them capture his amazing vitality and joi de vivre, but they do show what a handsome Hawaiian/Tahitian man he was, truly representative of that beautiful family.<br /><br />What I'll always remember about Puna, other than the sweetness of his character, were the beauty of his singing voice, mostly falsetto, the assurance of his ukulele strumming technique, and most of all the way he danced Hula so sassily, always with a huge flirtatious smile of immense happiness on his face.<br /><br />What other change is worth mentioning?? Oh, I almost forgot: The <span style="font-weight:bold;">Arthur Johnsen Gallery</span> closed its doors for the last time this week on Wednesday, February 29. We loved our 6 year cruise in the world of retail art as a loosely knit hui of artists, but the street traffic on Waianuenue was sadly diminished this year and our rent was increased. So we made the decision to join forces with our friends over at the <span style="font-weight:bold;">One Gallery</span> at the corner of Mamo and Kilauea. This is a similarly old building with lots of character, and the location seems better and more central to the active area of downtown Hilo. We haven't worked out our individual hours but most of us will be working a shift there at some time during the week.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">A Hui Hou!</span>Arthurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14861011709322745697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26628708.post-60494822763938810132011-10-07T10:55:00.007-10:002011-10-07T11:05:46.291-10:00New AJ Paintings at the GalleryFollowing my trip to O'ahu and a brief <span style="font-style:italic;">holo-holo</span> around the Big Island, I finished up some smallish paintings to put in the gallery. The O'ahu paintings will migrate over to the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Cedar Street Gallery</span> in a few weeks, while the Kohala area paintings will go up to my friend Prakash's beautiful <span style="font-weight:bold;">Elements</span> gallery in Hawi. There is even a very classic view of Foster Gardens which I did in the late 90's. The style is a bit more precise and careful than my current work.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">(Double click on the images to see them at a larger size)</span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhiWO4Wlg1ulj2UQ-ylUiEeMy6b-SssekETK2a35TYV8LNqy1gu2N57C_KZm180-91es5is3cHHEmRqsm3OI_6DMBlVuHI99q8tSFor41q3BpVG_g13YVnTKOByNXuZ2soGqrp25Q/s1600/DimndHdRndTop.gif"><img style="float:right;

<br />Noe Tanigawa gave me the birthday present of a Butoh class, of all things. If I expected anything, it was a sort of free-form contact improv but with lots of angst and darkness. Instead, the teacher led us through endless exercises that were incredibly physically demanding, kind of like a Graham technique but with the most charming visualizations. For example we were told to smell a flower growing out of our chest, which was a more poetic way of saying "Chest out, breathe!". The teacher was a tiny woman of indeterminate age, with the most expressive face and gestures imaginable. Completely charming and delightful. At one point we were turning from tiny baby monkeys into giant Buddhas, and to watch her movements was to completely believe in the transformation.
<br />
<br />I joined Mark Brown for a painting session at Waimea Valley. He was painting the lower two panels of an enormous vertical triptych, in a free lyrical style very evocative of Gauguin.

<br />
<br />I came over to O'ahu to attend an opening ceremony and preview at the <span style="font-weight:bold;">Disney Aulani Resort</span>, in <span style="font-style:italic;">Ko'olina</span>, west of Pearl Harbor. I'm lucky to be able to stay at the Nu'uanu home of my dear friend, mentor and "big sistah" Mary Philpotts McGrath, and her very kindhearted and tolerant husband <span style="font-weight:bold;">John</span>.
<br />
<br />The Aulani resort is very spectacular, but the event was somewhat of a bummer for me. Not only was my own contribution nowhere to be seen, but it actually took a huge last minute effort on the part of <span style="font-weight:bold;">Peggy Krantz</span>, my art rep, to find it! So after a whole evening of ogling the spectacular artworks by OTHER members of the art community, who are probably all buying villas in France with the proceeds from this commission, I was practically choking back tears as I searched for my own artwork. Once I found it, though, I was pleased that it looked good in its location and was not an embarrassment to me.
<br />
<br />Mary herself did some wonderful panels which were hanging in the spa area, totally suggestive of underwater tranquillity.
<br />
<br />The next morning we trouped up to <span style="font-weight:bold;">Jonathan Edwards Staub</span>'s home on a ridge on the Roundtop mountain, with views in both directions toward Diamond Head and Ewa, and with one of the most stunning gardens in between. A stellar group of designers and artists assembled to work on plein air paintings and other projects. I photographed <span style="font-weight:bold;">Debby Young</span> clambering up the pathway to get out of the drizzling rain.
<br />
<br />Today I enjoyed a little painting time with <span style="font-weight:bold;">Mark Brown</span>, who was working in Ho'omaluhia botanical gardens with his friend Greg. I set myself up and painted the same view, but of course my version is much smaller and blue-er than his!

I knew I wanted to enter something into the <span style="font-style:italic;">Hawai'i Ne<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span>i art show opening this friday at the Wailoa Center in Hilo (opening reception 5-7), but I didn't know that when the impulse congealed it would be in the form of three huge canvases, 4' x 6'. I'd always wanted to depict one of the massive <span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">koa<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span></span> trees that grow in isolated locations on the Hawaiian Islands. These trees are so huge and old that often their limbs bend down to the ground in graceful curves like branches in a Japanese screen. So I finally decided, "if not now, when?" and got to work.<br /><br />Into the branches of the koa tree I painted a Hawaiian Hawk, or <span style="font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-style:italic;">io<span style="font-weight:bold;"></span></span></span>, and a few <span style="font-weight:bold;">i'iwi<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span> and <span style="font-weight:bold;">amakihi<span style="font-style:italic;"></span></span> songbirds. I'm not sure that the little birds would actually fly so close to the fierce bird of prey.<br /><br />I had to deliver the painting in separate components which I screwed together into a big folding screen since none of the walls at the center are large enough. While there I was surprised to find that several other gallery artists had entered and gotten into the show!<br /><br />The Hawai'i Nei show just moved from its original location at the Volcano Art Center, and was shepherded to its new home by the familiar gallery personnel Ter and Fia. It's a great showcase for native species lovers, regardless of their professional experience.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlE2H8T2hsCOy7B78cGCGP87vlqb6Efguq0Ji1nl0AvKpiJNx3zZwy3Z5X1MB0njK8iuTGkenjFcZdJzLOiG9e0bx_0X5hGN8WcDMUXetXUkcUHIG7CPV312rpP49HPomxdy78iw/s1600/EstherCrow.gif"><img style="float:right;

He took the apparent chaos of Elfie Wilkins-Nacht's very prolific and abundant offerings and turned them into a very elegant and attractive show. My own pieces were problematic in that no one had ever come up with this format of hanging panels before. So I ended up hanging all of those myself. I think the end result is quite nice, although different from my expectations. <br /><br />For one thing I had hoped all the windows of the room could be opened up to the wind and light, but unfortunately only one was made available to me, and we couldn't budge the glass. So in a land of beautiful breezes the room is stuffy and still. I am hoping to have a fan blowing on the hangings so they will spin as intended.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKrLzhlVq8Izfk5OlrFwLnviKYfRl0uToqXOS81Bf889R_xCyGO3_xdtdEe02r7DiLP4fLRGYUWBcZU03LZ7w6-aQTn4tHxQf8-PWgx_tBYTph2lOeYlDOb5EXzHiXGQEhdVFr8w/s1600/mobiles4.gif"><img style="float:right;

By this I think she means that visual fascination of a good LSD experience, or that otherworldliness we used to experience as children lying under the Christmas tree looking up through the branches with all the glitter and lights. <br /><br />I decided to let loose with my inner trippiness in a collection of new works for an art show opening this Friday, July 1 at the East Hawaii Cultural Center. I have the small room on the makai corner of the building, while Elfie Wilkins-Nacht and the Hawai'i Photo Shooters are occupying the other galleries.<br /><br />Most trippy of all are my spinning, hanging mobile paintings, done on both sides of wooden panels and suspended in clusters from the ceiling. The biggest are 18" across, and can work up quite a frightening momentum in a windstorm such as I sometimes have whipping through my studio. But in general they spin at a leisurely rate and one can enjoy a rippling play of light constantly moving across surfaces that have been heavily textured in modeling paste and then painted in metallic and iridescent colors. My favorite ones are the simplest, with brown and black shapes that recall African sculpture.<br /><br />I'm also showing a pair of giant paintings with swimmers suspended among dolphins, or over coral formations, against a background of gleaming gold. I used a broom to create huge swirls of texture that illuminate and add an element of -- trippiness!<br /><br />Also, finally, the (nearly) completed panels for my client on Kaua'i. I think having them formally displayed to the public will help me figure out what, if anything, needs to be done to finalize them. They are a sort of art-deco, socialist-realist fantasy recreation of a Hawai'i that may or may not have looked anything like this!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjY1NV-b8Cw1XUp5u8IXsLHmCS7sfsH-IZjRHfB0VUxa0rL7vUS2kTZgSrGf7TWR0ugQbRy0xyxRGsZeWv2l3UVZB3EuyvGu7LrAfcXgEWugu820MiJD-X3uxom-SOT_XfkikmRIQ/s1600/ReefDiverDet.gif"><img style="float:right;

The male and female figures are supposed to evoke the mythic nature of the place where the house is being built, on the far end of the North Shore. Limahuli Valley is a beautiful park now, filled with ancient Hawaiian walls and functional taro patches, and a wide variety of native plant species. To achieve this the workers had to clear out a profusion of non-native invasive species that have congested most areas of all the islands.<br /><br />The palette of the diptych will be very subdued, like several earlier commissions which I'm showing here as well. I'm getting to that in a circuitous manner, doing the initial blocking in with a relatively unrestrained color range which I'll dampen down as I progress.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmOfxTpQbETozfuviO2KQ_FfnTjr33X7rF_qT3p0rY-oBPUYcXA46yCQamtWwe3Lm3Jfge4Zhb4zY_YDqWZj3io72zyE5h122Vohq__eAURjq3pN-9WxnHU5Lf01HZW0drAqphRA/s1600/StudioWBrozSktchs.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 134px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmOfxTpQbETozfuviO2KQ_FfnTjr33X7rF_qT3p0rY-oBPUYcXA46yCQamtWwe3Lm3Jfge4Zhb4zY_YDqWZj3io72zyE5h122Vohq__eAURjq3pN-9WxnHU5Lf01HZW0drAqphRA/s200/StudioWBrozSktchs.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599197901325167650" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-y9SASpBpphw2Kjv1jsD7o24d5xrxfLcTGv2sZDRQkZi-m-J5_xUi6YkUQMEEGZuM686q56Emx7yOrgzz5BaiKWvgqA7tacXw5WsKuLjbXQy4I3p3w74V8JT5akARs6-p49JPYw/s1600/AJStudio4_20.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-y9SASpBpphw2Kjv1jsD7o24d5xrxfLcTGv2sZDRQkZi-m-J5_xUi6YkUQMEEGZuM686q56Emx7yOrgzz5BaiKWvgqA7tacXw5WsKuLjbXQy4I3p3w74V8JT5akARs6-p49JPYw/s400/AJStudio4_20.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599197605819517282" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-_LxQ3Pob8R5ECC9XTVrISu1lYbGXiyLw476Aq6VDe8-9hkIFAhhxno6kaPPaGF6DVk2RenRwkqW9vTQL2btfoQR6AFkBQS8D0Plx2ssr2kxsIthtvLleJzQFrAuNdRHacNFxTg/s1600/TapaGirlsTrptch.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-_LxQ3Pob8R5ECC9XTVrISu1lYbGXiyLw476Aq6VDe8-9hkIFAhhxno6kaPPaGF6DVk2RenRwkqW9vTQL2btfoQR6AFkBQS8D0Plx2ssr2kxsIthtvLleJzQFrAuNdRHacNFxTg/s320/TapaGirlsTrptch.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599196739138426978" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1RF88OyUxqw_NgLnu49kR5eX_eaB4HgfALkrZZxdcCXeBjpIqmYirPd_VN-gaz0I0Ixa0hRi9MEDvfu9Vc2fJ5qm2T4ty5mCNY_SkxdQaYrIRSGdXHHed5jstcic1CPB7x0h5bQ/s1600/AJatHeaterHouse.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1RF88OyUxqw_NgLnu49kR5eX_eaB4HgfALkrZZxdcCXeBjpIqmYirPd_VN-gaz0I0Ixa0hRi9MEDvfu9Vc2fJ5qm2T4ty5mCNY_SkxdQaYrIRSGdXHHed5jstcic1CPB7x0h5bQ/s400/AJatHeaterHouse.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599196439376339938" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqqJQx6H-ISAU1izu0n9nzXKzplTyf23kA79qM5gOLQxbDIlsp0KsfnQRTJsG2CL6h02nrEc9ymxZcmzmGNRI9CaAu0WRQurhmnupltWn7zKzqNViBkw5_pK_04Htb6zrvm3ZfOQ/s1600/AJatHeaterHouse3.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 156px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqqJQx6H-ISAU1izu0n9nzXKzplTyf23kA79qM5gOLQxbDIlsp0KsfnQRTJsG2CL6h02nrEc9ymxZcmzmGNRI9CaAu0WRQurhmnupltWn7zKzqNViBkw5_pK_04Htb6zrvm3ZfOQ/s200/AJatHeaterHouse3.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599196107530007794" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJqiZZs9NRtsLK9trDVLMlh3YhE25M4nJv-B9_A9WgPuMvCUPWb3Th2P3pCR84DdJ_TuAlnuhCwtoLKPTt9cvRldGZX-F5TDJvAtkn2vlEdMPzqkvQnOXjntgNjs8yX0MOt-LzpA/s1600/AJatHeaterHouse4.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 133px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJqiZZs9NRtsLK9trDVLMlh3YhE25M4nJv-B9_A9WgPuMvCUPWb3Th2P3pCR84DdJ_TuAlnuhCwtoLKPTt9cvRldGZX-F5TDJvAtkn2vlEdMPzqkvQnOXjntgNjs8yX0MOt-LzpA/s200/AJatHeaterHouse4.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5599195888158307058" /></a>Arthurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14861011709322745697noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26628708.post-74240630017238577182011-04-19T10:12:00.022-10:002011-04-19T11:13:30.693-10:00Paintings of O'ahuThis posting is especially for the noted Honolulu interior designer Fran Obayashi. She used a big painting of mine at Queen's Medical Center, showing a bunch of pink flowering shower trees at Kapi'olani Park. Now we are looking for something similar but different. That loop of shower trees with the glimpses of <span style="font-style:italic;">Le'ahi</span> during the flowering season is pretty hard to beat, but O'ahu as a whole is a painter's paradise with one spectacular vista after another. Of course one has to maneuver around and between all the buildings and highway interchanges! I'm biased in a way because I grew up on O'ahu and still think it is the most beautiful of the Hawaiian islands.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEji3W_ENy4fbrUktnu2Vi0U28AYUZHvrK01stS5g669dWhwi0GPKDVB9Rpl8ww3PTcEtzQdC7e8OZ52TlpqtzF91V9NzwvRqjkU9cHALVwKWIGg1aB79N94fR1EdPMn9jU1vCHbwg/s1600/DmdHdBluTree2.gif"><img style="float:right;

Too bad that's the only place now in town to buy art things, as they have a small variety of mostly not such great stuff. But we had fun, going to the East Hawai'i Cultural Center to see the Spring Art Show, which we were all too busy and important to enter (actually the entry date is Saturday, which is when I have life drawing at my studio, which is my excuse). It was a surprisingly sophisticated show with very sparse hanging and many nice pieces. Then we went to check out the new "One" Gallery, which is a revamping of the old Ka Huina Gallery. It is cluttered but nicely done with some good artists, in a charming old Hilo building.<br /><br />I brought some new paintings into our gallery last week. One of them is a portrait of a mother and her baby, a commission from a nice young surgeon. I thought the baby looked interestingly serious. The other two were actually in my summer show at the Wailoa Center but I reworked them quite a bit: <span style="font-style:italic;">Keokea</span> beach, in Kohala, and <span style="font-style:italic;">Kaluahine Falls</span>, the intermittently running waterfall south of Waipi'o Valley.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLCWTV45P9meVt6Ga1zLjq79u4HahpKjpOqJtGgdxhTstOhWwwT4jhOE7rsVTnAO51v4Nd23GhopMcCPGV4AL_Mrwhraqc64LyUMW6lkDELWIBW2H8ReCuX0V2xAbFor2Y7-VQUA/s1600/KaluahineFalls.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 302px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLCWTV45P9meVt6Ga1zLjq79u4HahpKjpOqJtGgdxhTstOhWwwT4jhOE7rsVTnAO51v4Nd23GhopMcCPGV4AL_Mrwhraqc64LyUMW6lkDELWIBW2H8ReCuX0V2xAbFor2Y7-VQUA/s400/KaluahineFalls.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594139887198058530" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinhltw-5yF_a9tYGoAaqmwILT2T6SkcomM8gg3txIIWlGktqAG1_jPwbjK3hFgeGOm1msEOPZDYOnsT1aBkcb2eUq4m7FFnkLyvbSdFNM_R71f1aTbZIeA1BC3Gz_3FBGLN01iOw/s1600/KeokeaBeach.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 164px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinhltw-5yF_a9tYGoAaqmwILT2T6SkcomM8gg3txIIWlGktqAG1_jPwbjK3hFgeGOm1msEOPZDYOnsT1aBkcb2eUq4m7FFnkLyvbSdFNM_R71f1aTbZIeA1BC3Gz_3FBGLN01iOw/s320/KeokeaBeach.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594139674718478834" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjsrgCyRIMJK3f1A8YYFBOVwCZtcs3gLg2GmRVMnmxFXaH0tAwygoXkuHlcoIitPegejfDy614gYO7eM0JS81wzbgTGLSWk-fbCxuPIE3VPY7ObmpSdKhpkwUHVnwTYOHqK76vlQ/s1600/Mandy.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 303px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjsrgCyRIMJK3f1A8YYFBOVwCZtcs3gLg2GmRVMnmxFXaH0tAwygoXkuHlcoIitPegejfDy614gYO7eM0JS81wzbgTGLSWk-fbCxuPIE3VPY7ObmpSdKhpkwUHVnwTYOHqK76vlQ/s400/Mandy.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594139430889206242" /></a>Arthurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14861011709322745697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26628708.post-48035263656031592432011-03-01T09:37:00.009-10:002011-03-01T10:05:51.173-10:00Jack & Rod's PortraitsHere are a couple of portraits I did recently of a super-nice couple from San Francisco. They had emailed me some photos of their city-hall marriage ceremony, where I thought they looked like identical twins, but when I actually sat to paint their likenesses I discovered how very different they really are.<br /><br />My technique is pretty idiosyncratic, and far from the ideal of the traditional atelier with its careful rendering and painstaking glazing. I block things in quickly and very casually, with the knowledge that I can always remove the paint if I make an error, which I usually do. My progressive bifocals can play havoc on my vertical and horizontal proportions, and I sometimes have to overlap an actual photo on my computer with a jpg of the painting to catch the problem areas. But over the years I have developed a pretty good feeling for putting things in place and anticipating what colors I will need. My favorite is the bluish tinge of a 5 o'clock shadow, much to the consternation of Rod, who was careful to shave for the following sitting!<br /><br />My portrait heroine is the painter <span style="font-weight:bold;">Alice Neel</span>. I also adore and admire <span style="font-weight:bold;">Don Bachardy</span> who is an amazing artist.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg0mulKAbWtE-kUzcGTUsLN0gSuPzvhML0lxI5OUr3ea1nZ3mQzb3VLbmFA5WmqxprxQ9Agyd5qk6dfvSfH3qQJk6UD8Yz_MCdUNk6TMr0HIWTQU72Q6mlt9ddlOtlaRA9nFKlN5w/s1600/Jack1.gif"><img style="float:right;

Not wanting to miss anything involving the famous Rod, I joined the group for an exquisite day of plein air painting among the giant hapu'u ferns, ohi'a and olapa trees, and clambering anthuriums. The treehouse is the creation of an ingenious builder named Sky, and to his credit it actually did not kill the beautiful big ohi'a trees that it surrounded. Truly a magical experience. Also present were the beautiful Anne Catlin and her good friend John Matsushita, who is giving an encaustic workshop soon.

Class space is open to 12 students at any age and skill level for intimate and personal learning. <span style="font-weight:bold;">Painting classes begin Saturday, Feb 19th from 9am-1pm and run 5 consecutive Saturdays (Feb.19, 26, March 5, 12, 19) with an option of extension.</span><br /> <br />Sensitive to touch and temperature extremes, the tradition of wax painting has been in practice for thousands of years. Despite their seeming fragility, encaustics preserve very well, with examples in Egyptian and Greek artifacts dating back to 800 B.C. The Greeks applied wax and resin for weatherproofing, eventually using it for decoration upon warships. Perhaps the best known encaustic works are the funerary portraits painted throughout Egypt over 1,500 years ago.<br /><br />Students are invited to bring unconventional materials to experiment with the wax. They will learn basic and advanced applications and can create at their own pace. Additional assistance will be provided for those in need. $300 includes materials, with financial aid and member discounts available.<br /><br />John Matsushita is Hawaii-born and raised, with a BA in Fine Arts from the University of Hawai'i –Manoa, with study at the Art Institute of Southern California, Laguna. As a painter he works in molten wax against recycled wooden panels that he salvages from construction refuse. His encaustic paintings have been featured at VAC’s Emerging Artist Exhibit and he is currently represented in the Volcano Art Gallery. As a sculptor, he works in wood and stone, which he carves away to reveal landscapes and features of the natural environment that he feels a sense of deep connection with. His artistic focus has largely involved volunteer projects with limited resources beyond natural materials that have been foraged from the land itself. <br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">This class will take place at the Volcano Art Center’s Niaulani Campus: 19-4074 Old Volcano Road.

It's not an easy thing to tackle a new way of applying and manipulating paint, and some of you had never even used oils before! I'm hoping that some of the fear factor may have been dissipated and that you might be encouraged to try the technique on your own. Remember that representation of a scene is really optional, and that oil paints can be used to play around and do just about anything that you can conceive of!<br /><br />Just acquire a few colors (people get rid of paints at garage sales frequently) and use any old surface, and have some fun! <br /><br />I'll be happy to help with any questions, and would love to receive your feedback on the class.

Here are some notes to ponder:<br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />Paints to use when starting a painting (more transparent, dry quickly)</span><br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">For Trees, buildings, etc:</span><br /><br />Ultramarine Blue<br />Prussian Blue (good for the ocean)<br />Dioxazine Purple<br />Yellow Ochre<br />Viridian Green<br />Sap Green<br />Alizarine Crimson<br />Burnt Sienna<br />Burnt Umber<br />Indian Yellow (very strong clear transparent yellow)<br />Permanent Rose<br />Quinacridone Magenta<br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />For sky areas and for a sense of distance (use sparingly):</span><br /><br />Naples Yellow<br />White <br />Cobalt Turquoise (good for ocean and underwater seafoam)<br /><span style="font-style:italic;"><br />Paints to use only later in the process (very opaque, dry very slowly):</span><br /><br />Cadmium Yellow Light (or Cad. Lemon or Hansa Yellow)<br />Cad. Yellow Medium or Dark<br />Cadmium Orange<br />Cadmium Red Light, Medium, and/or Dark<br />Cad Light Green<br />Permanent Green<br />any Gamblin Radiant Series<br /><br />Regard the scene (or still life or figure). See if you can “grok” the overall dance or movement of what’s going on. Is there a focal point of interest? Is there a path going into the space? (consider inventing one if there is not!) Does the space between things do any special movement? (i.e. a tunnel of space over a shady lane, or a sweep of air along a coastline, or mysterious glades among treetrunks...) What emotion is expressed by this scene? Squint if it helps to see the larger masses and the overall pattern. If the light is doing something truly amazing, take a picture now since those effects rarely last! Same thing with animals or people doing interesting things in your scene.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Step 1:</span> Dot paint directly from tubes onto canvas for quickest results. Your choice of color now will set the tone for the whole painting. Balance observation with fantasy and imagination regarding color! Use your largest brush to mush paint into approximate shapes without regard to lighting effect, just simplified silhouettes. Let the tones be in the middle, neither very light nor very dark. Cover the canvas completely with thinned paints, using either turpentine or turps mixed with some dryer. Borrow paint with your brush from heavier areas if needed to distribute and re-arrange. Note that more distant objects are lighter in tone, so add white or let the paint be more transparent.<br /><br />When the whole canvas is covered, take a moment to congratulate yourself. Eat a cookie and drink a sip of your hot tea.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Step 2:</span> Use a medium size brush dipped in darker paints to draw shadows and structural details. Adjust the darkness so more distant objects are sketched in lighter tones. This would be the time to add the more important tree trunks and branches.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Step 3:</span> Then take a rag in one hand and dip a smaller clean brush in thinner. A t-shirt rag on your finger works well for this step, or just keep re-cleaning the brush. Start wiping away areas where the sun directly hits the objects: rooftops, tree bulges facing the sky, sunlight patches on a road surface or a lawn, linear streaks along tree trunks facing the light.<br />If the canvas has been toned a deep color, this step may take some imagination and delayed gratification since you are working to achieve a sense of light.<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Step 4:</span> Start adding highlights using strong, thick opaque paints. Now’s the time for cadmiums. Sunlight is yellow, and so a stronger effect of light can be achieved with yellow tints. White clouds can have a pure yellow edge to pop them against the blue sky. Tree trunk highlights can have a cadmium orange edge to pop them against all the green and blue shadows. Road highlights can be pink, yellow or orange depending on the paving material. Lawns and trees can have pure yellow or cadmium green light highlights. Permanent Green can be used sparingly. The Gamblin Radiant Series can be helpful.<br /><br />Time and energy permitting, the final working of the painting can go on to whatever level of exactitude you prefer. Take photos of the scene if you like so you can tweak the details later. But oftentimes the first bold approach will result in a fresh, exciting painting that might not be improved with a lot of fussing!<br /><br /><span style="font-style:italic;">Thanks as always to Roger Montoya of New Mexico for always generously sharing his techniques!</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi66rMlI9Ym7m17wYBmnBo3m_JexHmoiWnqaHidpdfg_V-oy9CtLuTPjg5CDg4wezjX4ALiFwp9zZyx2Pe6hKHauPoehcZH41GkmWAw-2eT_68HZvXR4cUgy2c63a6Z636vECq2bg/s1600/Subject.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 142px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi66rMlI9Ym7m17wYBmnBo3m_JexHmoiWnqaHidpdfg_V-oy9CtLuTPjg5CDg4wezjX4ALiFwp9zZyx2Pe6hKHauPoehcZH41GkmWAw-2eT_68HZvXR4cUgy2c63a6Z636vECq2bg/s200/Subject.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567021611603186690" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiurcyM4CTQs8of1KS_2iQtuhWM37QIAPXUA8szNzAPqZwhQPOA27bToHgI-TNJreZV-s6Spq8EwV-OD0wUrx8UL8cXjS4vHd9LFgjZMivDaTqgdsR-LiC5Z0lP6AsAvbPhac4jzQ/s1600/Step1.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 236px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiurcyM4CTQs8of1KS_2iQtuhWM37QIAPXUA8szNzAPqZwhQPOA27bToHgI-TNJreZV-s6Spq8EwV-OD0wUrx8UL8cXjS4vHd9LFgjZMivDaTqgdsR-LiC5Z0lP6AsAvbPhac4jzQ/s400/Step1.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567020776825045330" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU6TodQ0q1Ye7dmbp1A3T6w2jMnrIjbgmH91NZQbLWlf36ZmMv1GoGko8iI3_mbf6szuy0etnaEXTwZxYYWXo-24bG0rUUQtjFbFOOoD02UEBaAEpSUSGS8SGoILGHcxTYOpFPEg/s1600/Step2.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 221px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU6TodQ0q1Ye7dmbp1A3T6w2jMnrIjbgmH91NZQbLWlf36ZmMv1GoGko8iI3_mbf6szuy0etnaEXTwZxYYWXo-24bG0rUUQtjFbFOOoD02UEBaAEpSUSGS8SGoILGHcxTYOpFPEg/s400/Step2.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567018773660553234" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFxsb9opE14mCabPisxkUKJjgwqloTpTuxXl1wz6eYu_D8wpkG6Pc7XlqcrzEiHYzTlsACcnVbn8d-gqnqkeWpPkxUkCQ2xYbHtdQ8xy3gpjOgmAhyphenhyphenpD0LuciVRNxTxoDLT_ulww/s1600/Step3.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 221px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFxsb9opE14mCabPisxkUKJjgwqloTpTuxXl1wz6eYu_D8wpkG6Pc7XlqcrzEiHYzTlsACcnVbn8d-gqnqkeWpPkxUkCQ2xYbHtdQ8xy3gpjOgmAhyphenhyphenpD0LuciVRNxTxoDLT_ulww/s400/Step3.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567018331157008418" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtA6amijAG6Xk4zM-rd98gpQdlEZi3B1mn8zUAZ3bctaW0U4Vb6CMnrXv2EC1NpFFu4d0Fxq39c6MgyQG8KmRieyKHvAg8-UDijie-wRrpgDiWhfgbAcIsIm5BUoP2AqR5ZHv9sA/s1600/Step4.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtA6amijAG6Xk4zM-rd98gpQdlEZi3B1mn8zUAZ3bctaW0U4Vb6CMnrXv2EC1NpFFu4d0Fxq39c6MgyQG8KmRieyKHvAg8-UDijie-wRrpgDiWhfgbAcIsIm5BUoP2AqR5ZHv9sA/s400/Step4.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5567017584448683218" /></a>Arthurhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14861011709322745697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26628708.post-50743964269904666202011-01-26T15:15:00.008-10:002011-01-26T16:55:54.455-10:00Afternoon at the Gallery, January26These are some photos from around the gallery just to show what's new this year. I'm always on everyone's case to keep producing new art, but the truth is that it's pretty challenging to keep it coming! New, fresh art is often the first to get sold, and so sometimes it can seem like the gallery doesn't change very much. But it does have its progression of novelty....<br /><br />We looked longingly at a space that's opening up on bayfront, just down from Sig Zane's very prestigious store. Dreams of expansion and better exposure danced in our heads, but the rent (double our current, plus lots of insurance needs!) was daunting. A mishap with a very grouchy manager clinched the non-deal, as he threw Cosette and Tuko out of the space for just being there looking around! We think we'll stick with our current location and our friendly landlords!<br /><br />To celebrate Valentine's Day and month, we are having a sale on cards, t-shirts, pareos and boxes. I personally love the little hand-crafted items, but they take a lot of time for the $$ amount we can charge. But it's just this sort of thing that will be popping up on those TV antiques road shows in future years, unbelievably rare items from the hands of artists!<br /><br />I'll be teaching an oil-painting workshop this Sunday up in Volcano Village, at the Niaulani campus of the Art Center. It's been a while since I've taught, so it will be a good chance to brush up on my people skills and communication arts.<br /><br />A friend of David Hubbard provided this shot of him working on a portrait. <br /><br /> <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEje5yuyFGZoAYUcXhJznKCcjB8LF0-Cm6pwLBIiQtF9JtkYYNctyNXFz7HUvlr8pu1UzZZKdL7P83VQiH7pdbMPvRpZRx8mxWPe8GRYqt_W8fZckFPfHdi7zsVdUPRrJ91LS8Qw1g/s1600/TukoAbst.gif"><img style="float:right;

Noticeably absent are the dynamic duo of Leslie Sears and David Hubbard, but we'll post their photos eventually. Everett is updating our website <a href="http://www.arthurjohnsengallery.com" target="_blank">arthurjohnsengallery.com</a> and has been compiling files of photos to draw upon.<br /><br />The main news this month is that Sonya has to leave the islands due to her husband's allergies. This is a bummer because she is a super nice person and her artworks are very beautiful. In an effort to lighten her load and send her happily on her way, we are holding a silent auction of her paintings and pastels. This is an extraordinary opportunity to purchase gorgeous artworks at a very minimal price! Many of the pastels are unusually framed with custom matboards with real sand texturing them. The auction will last until the end of September.<br /><br />The opening was fun and well attended. We always have tasty and abundant food to share, which I imagine has an attractive effect. Up the street at the <a href="http://www.ehcc.org/" target="_blank">East Hawai'i Cultural Center</a>, a group of environmentally active artists opened a show of native species and habitats, while in a side gallery <a href="http://www.mydockstudio.com" target="_blank">John Mydock</a> presented an array of very spectacular turned and carved and radically painted wooden objects. In my humble opinion this show establishes his position as one of the Big Island's most powerful and creative artists, much as <a href="http://www.henrybianchiniart.com/" target="_blank">Henry Bianchini</a>'s amazing show did in July at the same venue. <br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGkO_y-LKiB2lHM314nBNhhjfeXGn2egkGyVkC8Ee6ikqO1vNuQI2_ZMuf4sgciWozv9KHZYdq4TmHwH-RX7kdUnmwDDtWtE1sHtHhfcttK_309Gn0kIHCJ9IKJeghCwwGntXhfg/s1600/AJGTuko.gif"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px;

It's a tiny gallery on a very noisy street with ambulances screaming up and down on their way to the hospital up above Rainbow Falls (<span style="font-style:italic;">Waianuenue</span> = water of the rainbow, get it??). But the very things that keep us small and humble are also the strengths that have allowed us to stay open while businesses have come and gone throughout downtown Hilo. We are more or less a co-operative group where everyone showing on the walls shares time working at the gallery. So if you walk in you are going to meet a creative spirit no matter what day it is. Now we are even open on Saturdays, thanks to the generous willingness of Deborah Beaver, who uses the time to actually paint in the shop. We are also very excited about the participation of our new friend and ally Everett Charters, who is a technogeek, very intelligent, and with great ideas on how to improve our website.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0O0W4G5ElI9jjbbP7JBKLtK8AdS4v9sSri2iIoBmtZOg0q6yE3Ua9IWUAEb-XX4V3BOjhTwoXNGujc1wo7WlfOyjcA6sWPJ8kNAfkSb6wFwBQd2iTee70SA6OPQX3dO0x0lHjHg/s1600/AJ&Ev.gif"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 193px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0O0W4G5ElI9jjbbP7JBKLtK8AdS4v9sSri2iIoBmtZOg0q6yE3Ua9IWUAEb-XX4V3BOjhTwoXNGujc1wo7WlfOyjcA6sWPJ8kNAfkSb6wFwBQd2iTee70SA6OPQX3dO0x0lHjHg/s200/AJ&Ev.gif" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5511332152621608082" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><br />Members of the A J Gallery will be celebrating our 5th anniversary with a special opening this Friday, September 3, from 5 to 7 PM.

She was inspired by my paintings in Mary's book <span style="font-weight:bold;">"Hawai'i A Sense of Place"</span> and by my big lobby painting at the St. Regis Hotel in Princeville, to commission a couple of figurative paintings for her house which is still in the early stages of construction. When it's finished the house will have an incredible view up into the Limahuli Valley with its green spires and legend-haunted stones. Constance herself is a remarkable individual with a strong sense of connection to the land and a desire to bring beauty and improvement to the world around her.<br /><br />Everett and I visited my high school friend Helen Cox and her husband John in Kalaheo, south Kaua'i, and walked their two dogs in the golden afternoon light. What a beautiful island Kaua'i is. Then after a night with Constance on the north shore we checked into the Princeville St. Regis for several days of pre-birthday celebration. Very glamorous, very nice location, but super expensive for every little detail. The best part was Everett gravitating toward a <span style="font-style:italic;">Wahine Kupuna</span> (elder woman) sitting in the lobby one morning, "talking story" about life and art on the island. Auntie Dora, known to her family as <span style="font-style:italic;">"Puna"</span>, brought artifacts, shells, Hawaiian quilting projects (Everett's favorite) and lots of stories to share.<br /><br /><br /> <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2fnpmYsXhHMLBrIJRAenwuyOX_GWXGtT2S2uEKFXlhjNEAUt89RpL6QgLJVkyAMGgVGYfTUiEXvibnOTssDHCcKF6Szgr0tsdg-ukyXYo4E3O-2UHUJWvTlrU-dKmxol_ietvvA/s1600/KauaiGrgl.gif"><img style="float:right;

This is a holdover from some fruitful collaborations with Mary Philpotts and her gang over the last several years. But it's also just an increasing appreciation for how creatively the <span style="font-style:italic;">kanaka maoli</span> (native people) used their resources and combined their design motifs. I have a big box of linoleum blocks that emulate the designs, although not at the original sizes which were scaled to the limitations of carved bamboo (<span style="font-style:italic;">'ohe kapala</span>) and the cut stems of plants.<br /><br />I keep searching for a synthesis of my regular painting style with the graphic brilliance of old <span style="font-style:italic;">Hawai'i nei</span>. I've collaged printed paper into paintings and on their borders. Tuko inspired me with her border for Nikko's memorial photo portrait (see August 3), with its colorful collage of my tapa print origami papers.<br /><br />Now I've been unearthing old paintings of mine and making cards and prints using kapa-motif borders. This gives a nostalgic effect that is appropriate to the atmosphere of the Puna of a decade or two ago, when the road was still a sleepy one-lane byway paved in a motley patchwork of red and grey cinder. These cards are printed on my home Epson photo r1900 and are now available at the gallery which, astonishingly, will be celebrating its 5th anniversary with a party on the first Friday of September.<br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBvWvv0VME60jv_sa2us1OGs-rEzUQhKokP3_glMiD-bN6pbp-Zu2JoXhaErLuZDwg00MRBJ7yKYKYbuRMuOtm1CY6eiDEGWoFaVZOYfeziDsihnf45Goa2fQLt0NqapJxMA4VaA/s1600/DSC01261.JPG"><img style="float:right;
