Hey TC,
Went to Maui for the weekend, for a art show of a friend. Haven't been there for a long time. Amazing beaches. However, the island has been developed a lot. It sort of reminded me of Orange County - lots of OC looking folks going to the beach, and creating alot of traffic. It was a bit of a relief to get back to the wide open spaces of the Big Island. Sunday night, after we got back, we walked down to "Don the Beachcomber" for sunset drinks and tusami shrimp. The Royal Kona hotel is almost finished putting in a new floor in the bar next to the resturrant. The bar's called "Don's Mai Tai Bar". As we walked through the lobby I could hear music and thought, "Cool they're playing some real Tiki Bar sounding stuff." However, the music was live: a vibraphone! Awesome! It's great that who ever's in charge over there is really doing up the place with a strong nod to tiki theme in mind!
So, here's tonight's work: Still doing the unending under-painting. I did get a little bit done on the dog.

Thanks for watching,
Aloha~
