The bone carving has definitely monopolized my time and creative energies. I gotta thank MooneyTiki for lighting a subtle fire under me. This week I decided I had to get back to painting, but was on a pretty limited budget. I managed to purchase a 9x12 canvas and a few tubes of acrylic paint and cheap brushes. It's amazing how hard (IE expensive) it is to restock your supplies when you have nothing. Thinking about what to paint was the hardest thing, but then it hit me. One of my favorite movies is The Incredible Mr. Limpet starring Don Knotts, and I've been on some Maori kick the past month. So I thought I would combine the two. I can't recall seeing that mixture before, so here goes... I present The Incredible Mr. Mokoed. I liked the smaller size canvas, fits almost completely on my scanner. It was fun mixing all the colors I needed from just primary colors, white and black. However, I'll never paint another gray suite as long as I live. A close-up of the moko designs on his face, I think I might have lost Don under all that moko! I didn't quite capture that frazzled, frightened, wide-eyed look I was hoping for. Pupule Tiki!
