Some had problems viewing the site and paintings, so I will post them here for all interested. I already posted below with the last two..so pardon the repeat on those. It helps to see the whole series so far together though, as to how all these fit together. They are all Fantases of a person or persons ultimate tropical escape dwelling. They all have a story behind the painting. All are different, just as a persons idea of an escape fits their persona. I can't write it all here I don't think..but will summerize in a coconut shell~ short descriptions below images. "Brewing it my way"..about a person who wants to leave it all behind and make rhum on the beach. Note the wind powered sugar cane press and the Stil made from an old ships boiler and a Mark V diving helmet! "Harmony of the Elements"..its a Tropical romantic piece...suggesting a couple lives in this shore side tree house..masculine and femanine forces harmonize..fire and water..on the Lanai are two drinks..a Mai Tai and a Blue Hawaii... "Pele's Promise" This is a story about a guy who makes a Pact with The Goddess Pele. He gets to live in solitude..imortal atop a magnifiscent lava cascade formation. He lives on to play in the surf and sit like a king atop the firey hill..as long as he keeps his promise to pele to be her eternal man of flesh~ "Cove of Wonders" Was my first piece. It was a fantasy I had as a kid to build a place like this on a quite Hawaiian beach. The Tikis are made from CoCo palms, shels and glass fishing floats. "Hale Pama" (Palm house or Palace) This was inspired by how the sounds of the wind in the palms in Hawaii create a peaceful music. Its a romantic peiece about a couple that built out of these palms and driftwood on a magical tide pool and hillside. This one sold about three Giclees the first hour at the show..several woman said it was so romantic in person their hearts raced!(Wish I could do that EVERY time!) This one was posted earlier..see the other post for story. Also selling well in Giclee. "Diamond in the Rough" Also described in the other post. This is selling to many age ranges...LOT's of details to discover .. Anyway..this gives a good overall look at the work. Again..this and two new ones will be at the big show for me In Oahu and Lahina mid August at the Tabora/Diamondhead Gallerys. Come in for Pu pu's and Champagne and say hello if you are there!! Mahalo! ~~ THOR [ Edited by: THOR's on 2004-07-08 17:54 ]
