UNCOMFORTABLE SILENCE.....

Well, the mustachio is gone-clashed with the bleached hair....
Anyways, decided to get back onto the Journey commission and wrap it up

harro-thanks man! and yes,i can keep still and not produce art when I'm napping,sleeping,reading,and on the toliette.
All the rest of the time is ART ART ART!
Brootal!
Lucky Duck! You can dance! I took Disco Lessons at the Danville YMCA back in 76-77 and a few years back took lessons with the wife and came to the conclusion that my lifelong dream of being a famous Ballroom Dancer would never happen as I was born with two left feet (the right one also has some Learning Difficulties,but we're working on that!).I totally can see the Tiki in your striping! Great Job! Steady Hand!
and remember, it's just as much about your eye and insight ,as it is about painting....
Let your hand's natural movements dictate your style,that will result in more truth and less thinking about
compensation and stuff like that...And never get disappointed! that Masterpiece may be one painting away!
Can you teach me some Ju-Jitsu? :lol:
Flat Black-good eye! That Laughing guy makes me giggle too! Thanks!
Clarita! I was possessed by TikiRay for awhile, but now it's gone! You can come out now!
and you're always smiling Clarita! That's how i knew! :)
and thank you Sam! You're raising the bar this year for all of us! The theme/execution/and mood of these new pieces are getting stronger and stronger! EL MACHINE is what you are!
Well Kiddies, since you've been waiting almost 2 weeks, i feel I should post the BRAND NEW stuff first, then share my progress on the BIRTH painting of the Journey commission with y'all...
So first, i did a study of the second canvas,which pictures our subject in Middle Age-facing the many challenges and battles that we all face as our newly adult bodies are beset with new opportunitiesand confrontations-both inside and outside.......This canvas will be HOT-warm colors-to generate the vitality of youth and POWER!
BLAHBLAHBLAH! Here it is.....
ink/tissue paper pigment and sharpie and gouache on hot-press watercolor paper (around 17x22-or so...)

Next study i did is for the last canvas...DEATH
My patron sent me a collage of all different studies i had done for this and ,talk about coincidences....
I've always loved Marc Chagall's work-the dreaminess and floating in and out of the physical and spiritual in his work,
as well as his color choices have always fascinated my brain...A week into studying his gouache studies for tapestries and his 12 tribes stained glass windows in Jerusalem,i got this collage in an e-mail and BAM! it reminded me of a Chagall!-so I used that as a starting point and added my own stuff in there (wings-slowly extinguishing helemt,etc.) and came up with a pretty good idea of how the last canvas in this series will work...
You can see the dead sojourner in his new body up near the upper right hiking up the cloud to his new Heavenly destination...(this canvas will mirror the heaven on the first-so you can display them together....
ink/tissue paper pigment and sharpie and gouache on hot-press watercolor paper (around 18x16-or so...)

Also been working on a Volcano Waterfall drawing with ink/tissue paper pigment and
sharpie on hot-press watercolor paper....Not finished yet,but you can see where it's headed....

And here's my ALMOST FINISHED Birth canvas......
I brought out different elements, made them richer,and brought out the background boatsman
and finished up the Heaven area....



Here's some of the boatsman enhancements....


that's it for now! TikiFarm Parking Lot Sale stuff next week!
