The 13th Annual Exhibition of the Sumi-e Society of Honolulu was held at Honolulu's City Office in downtown Honolulu, Hawaii.
Read more here about the announcement.
Considering the age group (60+) of the participants it was a remarkable turnout with many excellent exhibits both classical motifs and some modern; both classical black/white and some with color. In order to just pick up the rudiments of this art form it takes years and some of the participants have been practicing for years.
What is very remarkable is the fact that only some classical themes are mostly experimented with the advice of the teacher(Sensei). I have not been able to verify, if they can independently come up with themes of their own, and if so, how long one need to practice?
Most of these exhibits are copies of originals that the teacher keeps and depending on the dexterity of the student hands them out. I am not sure after how many years of practice one can embark on an independent path.
Here are some samples of exhibits(Chosen randomly):
Horse
Hotei
Scenery
Kacho (Bird and flowers)
Kacho (Bird and flowers)
Scenery
Tahcibana
