It is Finished!
The mandala's done!
the "Guardians of the Plumeria" is in full effect!
Tiki kaimuki-wait'll you see what i did with the black-COSMIC! thanks!
Sneaky-werd.
Clarita-Hello Fellow Tiki fan! Don't fall! Rise up instead!
Karen-you can't have it. :lol:
GROG-you're just jealous cause i'm less lazy than you!
TikiBrad-sometimes you just gotta obliterate something to take it up a notch....
you know the deal....VOG!
teaKs-your questions will be answered in just a second....
Duds and raves-Mahalos friends! Thanks for all the good vibes!
And a big thank you to all of you who visit and put up with these ramblins....
Well....the TIKI FREAKOUT is less than 2 weeks away.....
so here is a new piece i humbly offer you and the Light gallery.....
"Guardians of the Plumeria!
(insert the beginning of Bach's Mass in B-minor....)
Here's how i'll be displaying it on the wall....
excuse the slight glare-i used a satin finish to give it a deeper lustre....

here's a little twirl-a-round tour of the painting to give you an idea of the multiple combinations this puppy can unfold.....

that kind of gave you a clearer picture of the multitudes hidden within!
More tikis per square foot than any painting i know of....yet!

Now let us descend (or ascend) into the....
EYE OF THE PUH-LOO-MERE-RIA-MERIA-MERIA-MERIA!
that was supposed to be an echo..
go back and do it again!
GO!

Closer....

ENGAGE! LOCK!

Here's the orongo/moas flanking a jolly faced fellow
and the flipside of them.....

Flip!

get the picture?

the fun part of these is that each guy is a wee bit different-they all got their little personalities and stuff!

Here's some more Flipsy-Dipsys!

and of course.....who could forget the corners?
more flippy-tricks!
teaKs-hope you been counting!

i think these ones make the funniest faces with those big orongo eyes..and the pinky tongue! Slurp! :lol:

the above one is my favorite...the eyes on the midsection
under the arms make great nostrils!

Here's an Ultra close-up so you can see some of the twinkly stars i put in the background...makes it more COSMICky,eh?

and of course, there's no celebrating after it's done because.....
you still gotta paint the sides! GRRRRRRRRRR!

and this is what an artist looks like after checking and double-checking
a painting for anything i missed...
I rely on Ernie to point it out to me at the Opening Reception!

GOOD NIGHT!
