{"title":"Verdant Hollow, 1979","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eI painted \u003ci\u003eVerdant Hollow\u003c\/i\u003e in 1978, before I’d started writing background essays for each piece. Looking back at early work is interesting - every painting carries its own distinct emotional recollection. One glance and I remember exactly what I was feeling, the way a scent can suddenly flood you with memory. The smell of honeysuckle still carries me straight back to my grandfather’s orchard, where it grew everywhere in his garden.\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVerdant Hollow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e takes me back to a day spent chasing potential paintings through old Wailuku, where the ‘\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eĪ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eao Valley irrigation waterways ran like latticework through the neighborhood.
