A Beautiful Painting of Hawaii's Mama Loa by Keoni Montes
Ms. Jeffery, Thoroughly enjoyed reading you blog on Mama Loa. I thought I knew her well, she never mentioned her early adventures to me. Attached is a portrait I painted of her. What a charmer she was!
Keoni! What a beautiful surprise today to find your email and that extraordinary painting of Mama Loa! I will immediately post it on the blog. I am so happy someone who knew her found the blog and contacted me. I created that blog because I believe she was very important and needs to be remembered. How nice to find someone who knew her.

I love that painting… yes, that is the Mama Loa I knew! So full of character!
Keoni!
