I was at the thrift shop today and found a velvet painting with a cool looking tropical landscape theme. I thought it looked cool so I bought it. After a little research on the ol' interwebs I found this site and some info on my piece. Apparently it is "Sunrise Over Diamond Head" by Frank Y. Oda. It appears to be original. It's pretty old (paint chipping a little bit, old framing, etc...)and is signed as well. It's also not as colorful and vibrant as the posters/prints that I've seen. Though overall its still in good shape. I am just curious about what it is exactly that I have. I want to hang it in my bedroom. I am just worried now about uv damage, whether it should be re-framed, and what-not. This Oda character is starting to seem like kind of a "big deal". I'll post pictures soon. Any insight would be much appreciated. Mahallo
