Never Lose

 A L O H A  From
H  O  N  O  L  U  L  U
Tremendous beauty 
can be found in 
the tiniest of things... 
for who has ever 
thought to rival that 
of a butterfly's wing? 
     K. D'Angelo





Never lose an opportunity
 of seeing anything beautiful, 
for beauty is God's handwriting. 
 Ralph Waldo Emerson





Commercial Art of the 1930's
Commissioned to sell pineapples.
Reproduced as a mural at the 
(former) 
Dole Cannery, Honolulu


 Better to be without logic than without feeling. Charlotte Bronte

 I have never been 
especially impressed
 by the heroics of people
 who are convinced they are 
about to change the world. 
I am more awed by those 
who struggle to make
 one small difference 
after another.

  2. Beautifully said—real impact often comes from quiet, consistent effort rather than grand ambition.

  11. Georgia O’Keeffe was probably the most famous artist hired to visit Hawaii and paint images for a pineapple juice campaign! It seems so unlikely — but she made some amazing paintings during her stay there in 1940.
