What a week!
LOTS of false starts and puttering about this week...
usually happens after a HUGE Art-Blast....
system shuts down and what-not....

Thanks for being one of a handful of Canadians into Tiki!

Kiki-put aloe Vera on it-in the peeling stage today...
Chloe is pure magic! Her and gwen...crackups!
Thanks for adopting the "Sea monster"!
One of my favorites in the hut of one of my favorites!

Now get thee crackin!
Oasis is around the corner!

SOK-Thanks for the visit! Happy Travelling!
Watch your head tho!
That is Col Clysdalle's hut up there...
the Whore-er! the Whore-er! :lol:

Amy-thanks Love! And thanks for welcoming some LLT art into your ultra-cool pad!
:)

First off...
Art Swap 2009 piece...
the theme is PNG!
http://www.tikicentral.com/viewtopic.php?topic=32054&forum=18&start=0&97
"Walk thru the Jungle"
16 1/2" tall by 6" wide
sumi and gold ink,gouache on Aquarelle Water paper
(100% cotton!)
i simply love saying that!

This one started as TWO gents
but like i said,this has been a week of FALSE STARTs
but i think i done waded thru the molasses!
Here's up close...

Started one of them Super-Secret projects
and ended up having to wash it off and start anew...

so i dumped the Super-Secret piece
and finished this for the Hukilau Art show...
I was told the theme is polypop architecture...
so i made this up..somewhere i'd like to live...

did acrylic washes of payne's gray first
to get the initial forms and lighting..

Close-up...

LET THERE BE COLOR!
(well, after 5-6 hours the color begins to build up..

Here's the whole piece...
"Imaginary Tiki Palace"
acrylic on canvas

Close-up

Condo unit on top....

Don't really know or care if this is Neo-Tiki or Poly-pop
probably Poly-poop...but it was fun to paint!:lol:
I thought by combining different tikis from diff places
that they would all be forced to get along and also
that the interior could be SUPERHAPPYTIKIOVERLOAD!
the perfect Tiki Palace!
for me, at least..
C'mon over anytime!

HAve a safe trip to Florida,little guy! :)
