Drive-By!
RIGHT in the muddle of a painting jam
but thought i would share!

Markusk-
Thanks for the audible approval,friend!
if i ever end up in Berlin
i will trade you room and board for some art!

Jason-first off....thank you so much for your visits and steadfast encouragement
You and Claudette are A-1 in my book and truly Walk the Walk! Hugs!

lennie!-Thank you my dear! and thank you for your inspiration by example
you are livin the dream,dear!

Clarita-thank YOU! Sending some waves of :) until our future picnic!

Was inspired by a Moai in the Kahiki that i saw on page 146 of the Book of Tiki..
and Squid came by last Sunday and brought me some watercolor paper
with one page with the colors and tissue paper stain already thrown down!
so it was collaboration time
with Squid on the background colors and kinny on the art!
YAY!
i love unexpected opportunities such as this!

so i started a few sketchbook pages full of studies
then went straight to the paper..
and got this far...

and said (about 11pm last night)
"Why aint i doin this on one of them BooBen frames i got last week at his Hut?"
doi-yoi-yoi....
PICKLES!

so i jammed til 4 in the morn on this baby!
(got to watch "The Road" whilst painting.. What an incredible,moving film!
my favorite Post-Apocalyptic film as of today!)
Slept a few hours.... got up
and had a lil more studio time on this puppy
listening to Tiki Joe's Ocean's Under the Midnight Sun
that i just got in the mail
and soaking up a Tropical Moontan!
so here it is
as of a few minutes ago....

and a close-up...

will start on some shadowing soon
and then this baby will start cooking!
mmmm!
cooked baby....

Have a wonderful day and enjoy the sun for me!
i will haunt the batcave/studio of solitude
and create some more magic!
Aloha!
