Hi Kids!
Thank you all for sharing the magic of holiday Painting with you all!

JenTiki,
I've gotten meself back to thee studio today..the Home/Garage studio today! And what a wind! Oh my! At least it blew all those Christmas Chemtrails inland ! Sheesh! You should've seen it! The sky looked like a friggin spiderweb! Notched up my paranoia index at least 3 notches!

Hello BoraBoris!
Have you colored in your coloring book yet? If you do,post 'em here! I'd love to see 'em! As for the dremel stuff,I worked a bit yesterday,but don't want to post it til it looks a lil' better!

B-B-Ben!Great seeing you and your family last week! Each time I meet you,the deeper your history and character and accomplishments are revealed...you're like an onion,man! As soon as I can get some time I'll give you a call and take you up on that surfboard stand project! Plus it twould be interesting to see how the master keeps his workplace!

Brad,
don't you have an underwater sunken tiki piece to finish? Seeing as the image of an octopus is still fresh in your mind, I would suggest that you get off TC and start doing some studies from memory!

Hewey,
Hey man! Thanks for the love! I got your PM and I'm mulling over what to contribute,so give me a few days on that as I'm in a MAJOR PAINTING ZONE!!!!

Mahalos to you all!!! You guys keep my chin up when the horrors of everyday living press upon me! well,today I worked on "Revelation 6-13 with Moai". which is the working title for this piece.The Bible verse refers to the tribulation period when a third of the stars are shaken from the Heavens like a figtree casts figs off it's branches! This verse probably describes a pole shift, but i decided to take it literally....and picture it happening on Easter Island! Of course, the palm trees aren't there, but they add to the whole tropical flavah,soooooooo....
Here's the whole piece! if you look up near the top, you can see the Christmas Tree Ornament my lovely wife got for me! What a sweetie!

Here's some details to show y'all how the lighting is coming along..

I like this guy! He looks a little worried! who wouldn't be? He reminds me of those old Sad Sack comic books for some reason! Also note the curvy endings on the nostrils and lobes-an Homage to Squid and his wonderfully drawn Tiki Wonderland Moai!!! If you haven't gotten a print from that Legendary Tonga Hut show,I would suggest you PM him and get your copy before they're all gone!
Here's some details of the stars punching thru the clouds...

and here's one more detail for you to enjoy!

And here's a BIG detail of the first finished Moai's Head...

This is my first attempt at painting Moai, so I'm kinda keeping them stylized and KINDA stone looking...I can't wait til I can finish up the stars and get those yellow highlights on them and the palms...Then and only then will it truly POP! Well, I should go visit with my family,they rarely see me during these painting jags....Aloha dear friends! Write and tell me whatcha' think!
