Hi Kids!
Not much time to post step-by-steps lately as i've been cranking on Mojave Oasis inventory....BUT!
i did the twins finished and delivered ....BUT!
i can only show you these last details/close-ups and in a few weeks....the REVEAL!
If you'd like to check some of the new finished work for M.O. vending
then click on my "Categorized and Classified" link and go to the last page for some Sneaky-Peekys.....

Speakin of Sneakys....

Rousseau on LSD? Now THAT's a QUOTE!
Just getting lost in the coral and the schools of fish made me feel like Rousseau,
wandering about and examining the inhabitants and vegetation and attempting to
capture that experience for the viewer...transporting them. Thanks for the props bub! I know you're no stranger to larger works,so I'm glad we could share that
artistic excitement! Wait til you see the finished pieces....i sat cross-legged in front of them and smoked a ciggie after finishing and MAN! it feels like you're in an aquarium ! FUN! FUN!

Brad-YOU rock MY world,old friend! A constant exchange of inspiration! The waterfall in the background of your latest piece just takes me there! What atmosphere you've achieved in these past couple of pieces! Thanks for being an art-brother! i hope we can hang out soon!

Doug!-Just saw your finished "Target Practice" piece for the Shrunken head show yesterday while we was hangin it.....STUNNING! A few of the artists came by to drop off their pieces (who were outside of the Tiki scene) and they were blown away! YOU are out of control,Mr. Horne! Let's ArtJam again soon!

and a BIG MAHALO to all of y'alls who pop on by and take a peek...
I hope to never disappoint you.....
:)

Okaaaaaaaay
Formalities out of the way...Let's see some close-ups!
the last part of the twins was to emphasize movement and to deepen some shadows and adjust some of the lighting....Sorry for the glare,but i shot a lot of these at an angle.....
Anyways....I'll shut up.....

Vegetation at an underwater cave entrance.....

What Land of the Mermaids would be complete without an underwater Tiki Hut?

Here's a lil bit more of the underwater light show....
