Aloha all!!

Well, I have been juggling a lot of different pieces this year and at times, some are put on back burner while commissions or other priority projects are completed. I got the painted version of this done this week. See beginning of this thread if you want to see the history of what inspired this crazy painting.

Here is the finished piece to add to my "Gecko series" which is really popular seller it seems. We think we will call it.." Purple Projectiles off port side". It features these little Hawaiian Geckos on a half pineapple pirate ship...sails are cocktail napkins, chopstick masts and they are flinging grapes with a plastic spoon at their foe!!

Their enemy is shooting maraschino cherries that are kerplunking into the water near by..one went through the "sail" as a near miss!! I will do a second painting that shows who they are fighting. My idea is a half coconut husk with nut or sand castle fort lead by a Captain Hawaiian cane Toad and a bunch of tropical frogs. They use a plastic fork to thread the stem of the cherries through, pull back and fling at the Gecko pirates...Quite a fruit fight!!!!!

Hope you enjoy. This original will be scanned for publication and sent to the Thor Stor.

Looking forward to seeing some of you at Tiki Farm Parking lot sale, Hukilau and Tiki Oasis. I will be in the THOR STOR booth..please come say hi!

Have a great weekend!!! ~~THOR
