Aloha Crew!
Well, after seeing Brad's painting I've decided to abandon art! Just kidding! If you haven't checked it out yet-GO NOW TO THE TIKI SHARK POST! It's out of control! Even without the bubbles....Actually.gives me a point to strive for! Anyways, not much done on the REV6:13 Moai piece.In fact, a lot of the day on Friday was getting rid of about 2/3 of the clouds in the sky-too cluttered! Also, I had to finish Biff's custom mug!

I'll post the absolutely finished pix later this week!
But I have a few goodies to share,all sketchbook entries of what I started last night...
an Orongo village! But first let's chat!
Jentiki,
Hello Sweetie!
I'm glad you like "the Greeting"! Mahalos! That gold and the Ronrorongo glyphs really threw it into the limited depth I needed for it ,and the gold just makes it Zing! Can't wait for you to see the revised clouds-more effective and foreboding without the clutter! I dig the fruit basket too!
Hello Benz!
Thank you!
Always an honor when come to visit! I have the same problem as you! I'd like to spend more time in carving! So much great work,as I'm sure you'll agree! Don't kick yourself! We need you in one piece!Glad you like the Birdmen, and the Ancient One is a personal fave of mine! That painting sold 10 minutes before my one-man show opened! BAM! Love it when a patron sees and wants! I love the Orongo you got going up Mr. Octopus pendant man's back! I can't wait to see more of what your brilliance will bring to life!
Hewey!
I guess "the Greeting" is a hit! Thanks for being such a great chap since my very first posts here!
teaKey,
Hey buddy! All this talk of you being inspired...give it up man! Let's see some more of your crazy handiwork! Sorry about knocking out those clouds you love! Maybe I'll make a clouds only painting someday for ya!
Alrighty!
Here's a curious birdman Jade pendant I found from Costa Rica about 1000 years old... Memories of Lemuria? Mu? Were these cultures trading and interacting? Hmmmm...
How much of our history do we really know?
Well, here's the study of it...

here's something Paipo sent me! Please excuse his peeper! It's art,man!

and now onto the piece started last night...
I wanted to do an Orongo Village,so first I tried a landscape only....

Being too overwhelming, I decided to push down the landscape and concentrate on the Birdmen and their activities....

I'll post pix of the actual started painting after a Friday session! Gotta fly! Work is calling!
