Thank you Sneakytiki (is the Tikiyaki Orchestra song of the same name about you?), Lee, and Dawn. MadDogMike, I know how to take the "Painter of Light" comment because I've been searching my whole life for a way to do just that - I just never once thought it would be on velvet! Kahu, see below. Thanks BigToe (is there a story behind your name?). Marina, you work at the Hukilau was far more awesome than any mere paint stuck to velvet could ever be... Wow!

Here's the other work I had at the Hukilau:


"Huon Tiki Vista"

A very cool member of FOM bought this in the first half hour of the show, beating out three other people I saw looking for Harold Golen to buy it. The weirdest part is that I found out he lives near me!


"Near Waikani"

This "Near Waikani" painting just kills me. Amazing. In person it was really something to behold....bad lighting or not. Seeing these Velvets in person is just awesome....you keep seeing things in the dark..it's almost like you have to wait until your eyes adjust to see things...like you would if your were trying to see in the dark.

As look at the painting longer, your eyes adjust to the painting, you keep seeing things...I love that.
