Hello kids! Did we all have a good week? Good! Good! Thank you all for the encouragement and enthusiasm,during crazy weeks like this one,you all just put that smile on my face and heart...TC Ohana really help when it comes to gettin recharged! Well, a lotta detail has gotten filled in on Wed,Thurs night and today from about 9:30 til 10 :30 tonight! Also repainted over an old piece I never liked,got that one done as well. I wanted to get some new ones done for the November 11th Tonga Hut gig,so first, here's the newbie...just born around 8:00 tonight!

Very fun little break in between the coats of sealant for the Pele piece! The title of this painting is "Tiki Totem"just like the piece I painted over! It's on such a cool piece of wood,that it really needed something special! Here's what it used to look like.....EEW!

Yuck! I like this new version better! Plus it reads better when you turn it upside down! By the way, you can hang it either way! Jolly-o!
Well,enough of that, here's where I was this morning....

The painting is 4x4 feet to answer an earlier question... I did a lot of work today finishing up more palms and lava and getting the landscape more defined....

There's a couple of new characters added,see if you can find them!

and here's a detail of the lava that's been driving me nuts as of late....

Well, good friends, goodnight! A pretty solid 12-hour day! With a lunch break and half-hour nap, of course.Man! I love painting on days off! Mahalo for letting me share this with y'all! Hope you like it!
