Actually, the first two could be by Patric - I got confused by the remaining paintings in such a different style. Are you sure the signature is Patra? I can't find any Patric images via Google to check the signature. She painted the portraits of Ali'i that are in Kawaiahao Church in Honolulu, but I've also seen Tyree-like paintings of nude native women by her. I think the Kawaiahao portraits are from the 60's or 70's, so the time frame is right. |
