Howzit peeps, here's 2 large 36X60 velvets uncle Leo did. While he was doing some of his new designs and taking care oforders, I asked him to do a couple of classics. The first one is after one of Leeteg's most famous paintings(Hina Rapa)that was also used by the Chi Chi bar in Palm Springs.

Can you guess the second? The peopo In Florida should get this one. With Flounder doing all these great vintage mug paintings I thought it would be nice to do some vintage wahine paintings from the restaurants as well.

tanks fo da props braddahs on da Tangaroa. One of my fave's to carve. Chiki da wood is coconut palm. Da holes come from da spikes in da shoes of da local tree climbers so they can climb up to cut down coconuts so they don't fall on peopoz head in Waikiki ya. Also from birds.

aloha
