SLEESTAKI'll be seeing YOU soon!
Doesn't even compute..C'mon!
Glad you enjoy these little beasties!
Bill!
Yes! Sherberty!
Thought I'd follow that Squid-inspired palette as a base
and build upon that...and man!
MUTUAL INSPIRATION PACT is in full effect!
We should do another embellished tiki next chop!
That one a while back was fun!
MHH-Thanks man!
The Sunshower piece was just me revisiting my old fabric print days
and translating that onto the wood!
Used to create the prints with gouache on w/c paper
so the diff medium was a challenge at first,but got comfortable and talkative as the piece progressed...
This new one I'm working on is really stealing my time and thought
It's for a very special exhibition upcoming
so i'd really like it to SHINE!
but more of that later once it's declassimified!
Ernest
I agree.
Must be the Bamboo Ben part...
okay...enough chatting!
Was so far in the ZONE that i forgot to take progress pics
sorry...the painting comes first...
documentation is minor compared to gettin it done!
here it is today after a late night and early morn til now session...
"After Hours"
cel vinyl and acrylic on wood!
with Bamboo Ben frame
i mention wood! because it was both a challenge and delight
texturally
to work with...
Here's some close-ups....
the Moai
(inspired by a Moai in the Kahiki) in the BOT page 146
Here's the drink in a coconut bowl that they're sharing
whilst they discourse into the early hours...
and the bottom of the Moai in the grotto!
Here's a close-up of his pufferfish friend..
After abstracting him.i still wanted to give him some mass
as well as create a simplified abstraction of the light peering thru his belly..
so far so good.
i also added some washes of white around the light burst lines
as well as some raw umber shading here and there to create shadows and different fields of depth
so far so good.
just keep saying that kinny!
I'm pleased with how well the glass balls are turning out!
so far so good!
oh well... gotta finish this thing
got some coffee brewing!
Have a great evening!
