I am a painter of tropical/tiki/Hawaiiana on black velvet or canvas.

I have been getting into architecture in my paintings.Currently I am doing a painting of Rock Hudson's home in Bermuda Dunes(Palm Springs,CA area) for a couple who just bought the house.Also,I am starting a series of ghost town paintings for my very small town of Pioneertown.It is a permanant Western movie set built by Roy Rogers and Gene Autry.Now residents live there,have an untouched '50's bowling alley and a real biker/desert rat/tourist biker bar called,'Pappy and Harriet's,'also the original,'OK Corral.'
My husband,daughter and I live on the outskirts on a couple of acres.You probably are familiar with my husband,CC's work as a tiki carver: http://www.tikiroom.net/tikisbycc/tikisbycc.html
I collect '70's and older Fisher Price toys, fruits & veggies salt-n-pepper shakers and condiment jars with faces on them,smiley face,cookie jars,old Twilight Zone&Horror&Christian comic books,Tiki huts,kitschy asian & native figurines,cruise menus,'50's Christmas,chefs,Catalina Island items,Hawaiiana,tablecloths and vintage fabric,lucite&box purses,vintage Playskool toys,books,charms&charm bracelets,and rpg's for the PSOne!(also want to get the PS2!)For music I like,Exotica,Hawaiian(new and old),some ska,some big band,Dick Dale & some surf,some Western,Billy Holiday,Beatles,Herb Alpert,and Lounge music.
This is only what I collect!CC can rattle off a list as long or longer than mine.
We also just got a DVD player,so are switching to those.I like Marx Bros.,Shirley Temple,'50's "B" beach and horror movies,and Twilight Zone episodes.(We like to sail,surf and go camping and traveling.If anyone finds a Snark sailboat fully equipped for less than $100 let us know!We had one before and loved it for small lakes).
I would be willing to "barter"with any of these possible trades if you find a painting of mine you like.Partial trade of course,I like to get $$ too!
As Steve Martin says in,'The Jerk,'..."I could use money!"
Aloha,Anne
P.S.-Loved reading all of these.Someone mentioned Knotts Berry Farm.I used to work there!CC used to work at Disneyland!
