Thank you for your encouragement Zero ... I think I am starting to get this tiki stuff a bit. Now I need to get comfortable enough with them to go to another level. I like the way your art is so impressionistic. Early on, when I first started this thread, Sven told me that Tikis were a bit like cubism. They were not meant to represent reality. I am starting to believe that what the old islanders created looked the way they did because of the limitations of their tools. What would they look like with today's tools? I think maybe kinda like your art, with it's broad brush strokes and imaginative use of color. I think they must have understood your kind of impressionism but lacked your modern tools. Sven would probably tear into this theory. Thanks much and I do really like your work .... Gene
