First off...
"Listening to the Distant wind" ink,tissue paper stain,colored pencil and sharpie
this is another study for the third canvas of the "Journey" canvases
the scrolls have replaced the warclub-denoting accrual of knowledge and experience
and relying more on thoughts than strength
see the shield and spear hung on the side-no longer needed
the birdman at the prow has hands both praying
and holding a nest,representing progeny
the leaves are discarded or lost loved ones,goals,memories
it's evening /fall
the water appears to draw him towards the final canvas
his face is raised upwards
feeling the wind
and listening for that still soft voice...
here's the first attempt at it....i like the second one mo bettah!
Here's an oldie piece i finally got a good scan of...
Here's a scan of "the Dance" because the digital pics i posted sucked...
Ditto with "the Sea Monster"!
the colors on those camera pics were WAAAAAAAAAAAAAy OFF!
That's really about it
because of all the scanning and upkeep stuff that robs Father Time from my mission!
Here's a non-tiki piece i made for my wife
it has a tropical feel to it,so enjoy!
"Four Butterflies"
And, taking the lead from my friend Clysdalle
here's a non-Tiki piece
waaaaay far from Tiki
but an interesting abstract nonetheless...
thank you for indulging me....
"Theseus and the Minotaur"
ink and gold and white colored pencil on watercolor paper
I promise ALL NEW work next time
none of that rehash BOOSHEEP!
Thanks for poppin in!
