Hawaii artist, Dennis Mathewson, teams up with Pictures Plus and Chromaco to help produce an auction off an original work of art to help raise money for the American Red Cross Japan disaster relief fund. The painting is entitled "Tomodachi" which, in English, translates into friend or friends. It depicts two tikis – one tiki (representing Hawaii) sharing a sprouting coconut with the other tiki (representing Japan). The painting symbolizes the friendship between Hawaii and Japan, and the Kokua extended to Japan in the wake of the tsunami. |
