I liked the tiki but felt I needed one with more punch so I did a bunch of tiki sketches with this background in mind. Here's one of the pages of various tiki designs. I can't believe how tough it is to take pictures of black paper. Sorry, I don't have any pics of the velvet under construction - I was too into the process to even think of it! "Twilight Moonrise" - 16"x20" - oil on velvet. I'm very happy with the atmosphere in this one, and the excellent pigments I used makes it glow in a spotlight yet it retains a feeling of depth between the tiki and sky.
