The Tikis and the Tapa Cloth border are based on Tikis and the Tapa Cloth that can be found at Kona. "Swordfish Serenade" The name comes from a suggestion by BigToe... Thanks Tom! It measures 19.5" x 27", and is done in acrylic. I even made a kooky bamboo frame for it! The piece is a celebration of Sam's and Kona, each represented by a swordfish. The tikis in the scene are tikis from the restaurant, and in the foreground shadows, a familiar figure foreshadows the future... I am SO EXCITED about this show!!! http://ericoctober.com [ Edited by: tobunga 2009-02-26 20:45 ] Eric, what a great piece. I love how you incorporated Don into the painting, and those fantastic Sam's Tikis too. Really Nice !!!
