more good news
so, i havent posted in a bit, again, but have been busy. these are what became of some of my little flower girls...good news for me, the hawaii state foundation on culture and arts is acquiring my cloudeaters painting (the one in the artists of hawaii show) for their art in public places collection. hooray! i should mention that the little woman, Geraldine King Tam, who presented me with the award at the artists of hawaii show is the widow of Rueben Tam, for whom the award is named. she called me a few days later and wanted to send me some old exhibition catalogues of her late husband's work, which tickled me because i had been trying unsuccessfully to find out more about him. he was really a fantastic landscape painter, ive been way impressed with his work, especially the paintings he did when he lived in maine. geraldine king tam is a phenomenal artist too, a botanical illustator, so i feel very lucky with this whole experience.
