Happy ALOHA friday Tiki Central!
SuburbanpaganBig Mahalo! I'm all blushin' now!
LLTOh yeah! I got the tupper wear pallets, and they really help. However, the plastic pallets have compartments so you can mix each color and keep them separate. Well, I actually stopped using the compartment side, flipped it over, and mix all my colors on the lid. This way I can mix one shade into the next and get a steady graduation. So I use them upside down.
Okay....


Last night, I was staring at the painting. And all I could see was what's wrong with it. I guess this is common. Anytime an artist works on something for a long time, they can get to a place where they just see what they wanted it to look like, or mistakes they've made, things they'd like to fix, but it's too late to try with out nearly starting over. Basically, you look at the piece and it just looks big, ugly, dumb and stupid. LLT told me the scientific name for this phenomenon is called Grog-syndrome. But, I'd not actually ever heard it called that before.

Anyways, so, I think I'll quite on this one, and start over.

:) Just kidding. No, I gotta' realize each piece is a learning experience. finish it. Learn from it. And move on to the next one and apply what I've learned.

So, next, is the TIKI MUG! Oh, yeah, and the hair. Which I'm still not sure how it do.

Big Aloha from the Big Island!
