Hello!
Been working on some more top secret stuff for oasis
so i only got 4 new paintings to post
and 2-3 new drawings
which will have to wait til Monday or Tuesday to get scans of...
Dave-
Whaddya mean,Finally?
I don't share much of my non-tiki stuff here
cause this ain't Art Central..
I will show example pieces from that previous 16 years
but I'll try to keep it in context!
Hello Sam!
Thank you Sir!
I want to do a bunch of those stained glass pieces with an underwater animal bend,so keep your eyes peeled..
and the Atlantis piece is a waaaaay oldie,when i was researching the Ica Stones of Peru and the Acambero Mexico figurines..Who sez we didn't have contact with dinosaurs? :)
I just drew up a cubist/stained glass SKULL COLLECTOR, i think you'll like it when i post it in the next few days! :)
Viva la Abstract!
Babs!
Thank you Sai-Baba!
I'll have to show you this one in person so you can see the leaf and woodblock stamp motif i used as a starting point on this one!
Jason!
Don't get sensory overload! That'll keep you from getting more of those awesome velvets done! Very happy the artwork could give you a lil jump!
:) missin you and Claudette!
Brad!
I sold a bunch of Thai/Bali-inspired pieces year's back! Glad to see it's still kinda fresh after all these years!YAY!
My friend Lisa and her husband
were visiting from Portland
and she's the thrift store queen!
Anyways,she found 8 of these thick wood (squid sez they're redwood)
plaques just ready for gesso and paint!
(i gave Squids one to carve up in his masterful way)
Thanks Leethuh!
So i got some work done for oasis! yay!
"Ancestor"
gouache and gold paint pen on gessoed wood
He was inspired by the face of an ancestor on a
carved pole in a meeting house in Maori-Land!
here's a detail of the moko on the face..
next offering is
"Sky Drummer"
gouache and gold paint pen on gessoed wood
this one was a take-ff of those Solomon Island figures
but with a trippier narrative...
detail!
"the weary traveller"
gouache on gessoed wood
and the final one....
i went full-on cheese for this last one
for a number of reasons...
1)Why can't tikis be cute?
2) the wooden plaques reminded me of decoupaged Holly Hobbie pieces
that cluttered my youth
3) the theme is just so universal and sweet,i couldn't leave it alone...
"the gift"
gouache on gessoed wood
what a sweetie-boy!
That's it for now....
more arriving very soon!
Thanks for poppin in!
:)
