Mystery Painting
I'm attempting to identiy the palace in this painting. The artist signed the painting "Brogan". I have no clue who the artist is, or whether this place is real, or imagined. It vaguely resembles some of the buildings on the South end of the Iolani Palace in Honolulu. We have scads of these 2005 XPEDX calendars at work featuring this image. I emailed Thomas Costello, the president of XPEDX, a subsidiary of International Paper, but he didn't see fit to respond. Any help identifying the artist and the subject matter is greatly appreciated.
Update: It does not to appear to be the work of Patricia Burke Brogan.

Hmmm, not Iolani Palace. Also, there are no mountain ranges in the background so that's partly why I don't think it's Iolani Palace. White walls, red roof and arches is closer to City Hall and the Main Downtown Post office, but I know it's not any of those building. Good luck on your search.

I don't think there are any buildings in that area with the turret style roofs(pointy tops) in this picture. adnthe palm trees seem wrong, maybe it's imagined, or in Mexico?
