Alrightio!
Had a little smoke break and some coffeee mixed with Hot chocolate
and i am AMPED!

So.... why landscapes?
How are those Tiki?
well...let's wax philosophical for a minute...
Tikis come from a variety of locales
it's not only palm trees
tho, they do hold a prominent spot in Polypop..
A tiki alone can make for a good painting
but a tiki and a landscape
a world to "live" in
makes for a great painting!
most of the time...

So,in attempts to create a whole world with this Tiki theme
many studies of landscapes and strange locales was required
it's the least one can do for their art....
and sometimes a landscape will inspire a narrative...
or is just as important an element of the narrative...
makes you think..

on that serious note...
here are sketchbook studies of landscapes...
different approaches...serious studies
simplifications
stylizations
philosophicalmations
and all that.

Most of the titles for these are along the bottom...

Thank you.
i hope you've enjoyed this nature stroll...We should do this more often...
