Working a big art fair is both exhilarating and exhausting - apparently I am still recovering. As a result you are being treated to a very short, intentionally sweet eZine this week. Enjoy!
Short, Sweet, and "Onolicious" 
The Hawaiian word "ono" has many meanings including: tasty, delicious, as well as to savor or crave, to tempt the appetite. Onolicious is the title of my latest mermaid ... actually, she titled herself. When asked what needed to be done before the Hale`iwa Arts Festival, I said, "Pono and Onolicious need to be framed." That was the first time I had heard her name. I had never even thought of that name before, it came as a complete shock to me. And it fits. Onolicious is a little more voluptuous than my previous mermaids and she was great fun to paint. If she swirls a path into your heart, you can order her here (FREE shipping): 8x10 matted print=$20  ; 11x14 matted print=$35 16"x20" matted print = $60

I have been happily collecting art cartoons for the past ten years. A few weeks ago one of my students presented this cartoon to me; after reading my last eZine, Daphne just "knew" I would appreciate it:
 The caption reads:
"My feeling is, let the rest of the world hunt and gather,
if they must."
I tried to find the author, Wykes, but there are several cartoonists by name and since I don't have a date for this cartoon, I can't quite place it. If you have any info, please share it with us.
Rather than share the whole cartoon collection at once, you will receive periodic giggles in the months to come.
If you run across any fun art cartoons, please send them my way. I like to laminate them for posterity, and will share them here. Whenever possible, I will add a link to the cartoonist's website.

If you are new to this eZine, you might be interested in reading more about me and my career in an interview published this week by Artist Career Training.
Artist Career Training has been an important factor in my success, so I highly recommend other artists check them out!

Mahalo for taking the time to read this Art of Aloha eZine. If you have a moment, I hope you will share it with a friend either by forwarding it, or by clicking on the Facebook, Twitter, or LinkedIn buttons!
