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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\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. I stumbled onto this scene in the front yard of a large old estate in the older residential part of town.
