Thanks Girls!
Would love to see your workspace Dawn!
Now that i have an original
it would be fun to see where it was created!
Weeeeeell, jammed on this til 1 last night
and here's what i got on DAy TWo!

lot more definition
lighting
personality
and color coming thru...
daddy is pleased so far....

i love how abstract the birdman looks at times.....

the lighting is coming along on this...
acrylics are harder to control than gouache or paintpens
but the scale of the piece allowed some elbow-room...

Here's some closeups of the boat that i'm trying to get some dimensionality to before trying a subtle "wood" like texture in spots...
and the water...don't get me started! shudder!

But all-in -all...turning out quite satisfactory....
Next piece coming up for the big show....
Chinese papercut/pareau style tiki piece.....
like this....

i'm gonna do 2 abstract tiki pieces and 2 old school Ken style totem
and Tiki Face filled with Tikis.....and i got til next Thursday mornin....
Gotta Go!
