Hello everyone! I'm a long time lurker, but, would like to start contributing and become a positive member of the community. I came across this, Bill Erwin, black velvet painting and wanted to share, and to get some thoughts because I don't know anything about it.

All I know about Bill Erwin is from what I've learned in the posts in this thread and a quick google search. I know that he was Leetag's protege and that's about it. If anybody has any info about this specific painting, that would be awesome, I couldn't find anything about it in my venture through google.

This is the first painting I've ever bought, so, any thoughts on the value would be appreciated, too. I kind of consider myself a picker, so, it's always cool to know what something is "worth". If you don't think it's anything special, please let me know that, too. I really just want to learn as much as I can.

I also got some other cool stuff today that I'll add to "Tiki Finds".

Thanks to everybody for making this such a fun and informational website, I thoroughly enjoy reading through the threads, checking out the pics, and learning more about everything tiki and Polynesian pop.
