Like a sentinel, this stoneware pot is one of two similarly shaped by Windward artist Soares.

In art news: The Windward Artists Guild that I joined this year has installed its Membership Show at Hoʻomaluhia Botanical Garden Visitor Center in Kāneʻohe, Oʻahu. Entrance to the Garden is at the end of Luluku Road.

The public may enjoy the exhibit until the end of October, from 9 to 4 daily. The best time to meet the artists will be this Friday, October 9, from 5:30 to 7 p.m. at a reception. Art collectors and appreciators, take note!

William Zwick, director of the Zwick Academy of Fine Art, juried and will be awarding 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and two Honorable Mentions.

The pieces include images of nature predominantly—flowers, landscapes and seascapes of windward O‘ahu that logically inspire artists who live here. Oil, watercolor, paper, batik, wax, some clay—you’ll find a range of media.

Welcoming entry

The Exhibit Room at Ho‘omaluhia Botanical Garden’s Visitor Center features changing exhibits monthly.

Here are the two paintings of mine that Mr. Zwick picked for display:”Waipao” and “Clouds Lifting Over Lanihuli.” I’m pleased. Thank you!

“Waipao”
