Thought I would share the latest two pieces I painted that sold VERY well at my show in Oahu last week at the DiamondHead Gallery in Waikiki. Below is "Magik of the Tiki maker" and "Diamond in the Rough" Part of a series of great Hawaiian escape fantasies. "Magik of the tiki maker" is based on a story I heard from a local tiki carver in Maui I became friends with. He was very quiete..but a skilled craftsman...who old of a story he heard as a kid about a Tiki carver/shamin who lived in a hollow tree in the jungle..on Maui's North west end. It was said that he worked by candle light and would load up his outrigger the night before he went down river to sell his creations. A magical glow was said to be seen around his tree and hull of the outrigger as he made his way along the tropical river.
"Diamond in the Rough" is a surfing shack on steroids!! It celebrtes the wave..the shape, the composition...even the bamboo slide to make shure of catching the perfect wave if it appears. All in a secret little nitch around the corner from Waikiki!
Several people from TC here dropped in and said hi I just can't remember their user names..it was crazy. All art is available at http://www.diamondheadgallery.com Click on "featured artist". (Tom Thordarson) Ask them also about "mini prints" avaiable now. Anyone in Waikiki the week of Aug. 20th, stop in and see me for my show at the gallery there and the big Island. All feedback appreciated!!!

Mahalo!! ~~ THOR
