Aloha Tiki Central Ohana!
Well, I finally salvaged what I could from the photos of the August 5th show! I will be having a Closing Reception on September 9th! We'll have the Powerpoint up,all the art,and still a bunch of Coloring Books,Stickers and "about 500 Tikis",which,according to current owners,is an invaluable artistic resource! Well, here's some photos from the Opening Reception of "Talking Palms and Pineapple Kings"

Pre-show jitters-that's me posing outside the show with Eric-he's half of the two owners of the Caged Chameleon gallery in SA.

here's a bunch of art-lovers in front of the showcase piece-that's my wife far left-schmoozing and taking care of sales!

this is the only shot my sister got of the powerpoint! It ran thru about 500 images and with the cool outside air and plenty of couches and chairs,it gave those people too tired or buzzed,an opportunity to see the whole show at a sitting! This will be up for the Sept 9th show as well! Kids love it!

Here's the front room area-just a slice of it-there was about 9 paintings hanging up-but it was so crammed,my lil' sissy could only capture this much!

here's a view down the hallway that is between the two other rooms of the gallery.That fellow in the background is checking out collected watercolors and sketchbook entries that couldn't fit on the walls!

another crowd shot-notice the kids,there were a lot of them underfoot,until they discovered the backyard area.....

Besides the Powerpoint,there is also a lil' waterfall and koi pond as well as an outdoor pavilion and plenty of couches and chairs and quiet areas amidst the trees....

Here's the outdoors looking back towards the gallery.That's my stepdaughter Jacquelline,my niece from Illinois Frannie, and my other stepdaughter Autumn all enjoying their single night stardom!

Here's my friends Randy and Dave posing near "the Ancient One" first piece sold that night! (The guy came early just so he'd have an early start on picking a painting...gotta love those crazy patrons!) Anyways,like I said.This is what I could salvage for now! I'm going down there today to shoot some daytime pix-especially since we got no shots of one whole room! Mahaloz for looking at these boring photos! C'mon down on the 9th and I'll get more exciting pix-perhaps with YOUR face in them! Aloha!
