This woodblock takes me back to the year I lived on Maui (decades ago). A friend had a boat that offered sunset cruises and we'd look back on the W.Maui Mountains, often surrounded by Humpback Whales. I moved to Honolulu for 2 years after that. Ito Takashi 1894-1982 Ameshiriro #japanese #woodblock

I love the violet and greens in this painting. I also like how the rule of thirds is incorporated into triangles making the composition sing. Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) Shono Driving Rain #japanese #woodblock

I've had two stuffed peacocks on driftwood in my apt since the 1990's, When they die, they do not rot or decay for a very long time making them ideal for taxidermy & as a symbol or immortality. In Honolulu I saw white peafowl for the first time (wow). Yang Shanshen (Chinese painter) White Peacocks

Another super modern looking silkscreen by Japanese artist Go (Tsuyoshi) Yayanagi (1933-Present). It's called Flower Like the Blue Sky.
