Hey Paipo!
Yeah! The intuitive stuff is always the most surprising! With big "SERIOUS" works,the final finishing details are soooo boring because they've already been worked out in the mind.Both ways end in the pleasing results of looking upon a finished handiwork,but sometimes it pays to make it into an adventure.I did some more work on this puppy,a couple hours each night and a story is slowly forming (working title for now is "Pompele'", a twist on Pompeii and Pele.) Well, here's the left side of the painting with a little bit of progress...

Here's a closeup to show you some more of the lighting around the lava and palms....

Then I took a completely different hut than the sketch and began to put it up on the hill....

IsleConch got me thinking about Tikis in the piece, so I decided to put them around the hut, kind of guarding it and all....
And in case you didn't notice, I added some Bird of Paradise marchers along the bottom...Don't know what they are brewing up on the mid-lower-right of this painting, but it should prove interesting.....

That's prolly going to be it until next week! Spooky Luau is Saturday and I gotta finish more of those color-yourself posters for TikiFarm! Aloha folks!
