Insights in oil
The current show at Nuuanu Gallery at Marks Garage will spark interest in fans of Mary Mitsuda's work. The painter, well known for her large-scale acrylic abstracts, delves into plein-air oils in "Kelly Sueda and Mary Mitsuda: Recent Paintings," on exhibit through Sept. 29.
Mitsuda captures Hawaii landscapes and even paints an endearing portrait of a black Lab in pieces that are scaled down in size compared with works she's shown in the recent past.
Sueda, who returned to the isles in 2001 after being educated and working in such cities as San Francisco, Pasadena, Calif., and Colorado Springs, Colo., paired landscape and cityscape works to hang together in intriguing juxtapositions. He also created series of paintings, like "Three Mcs," which includes "McMansions," a McDonald's restaurant and a portrait of Steve McQueen.
Nuuanu Gallery at Marks Garage, located at 1161 Nuuanu Ave., is open 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays to Fridays. Call 536-9828.
