Really appreciate it LLT! The more I think about it, the more I realize that I paint images of exotica, not tiki.....meaning: you can have tiki without exotica, but you can't have exotica without tiki. Does that make sense? I think I am drawn more to exotica culture: the quiet mystery.......rather than tiki culture which includes a much larger spectrum of influences. They are great and I love the other elements but, when it comes right down to it, I am attracted to exotica and it is reflected in my images ( I hope!)

This was originally an oil that I am really revamping right now
