Well tiki gang, miss mermaid is finally done and almost dry. Maybe a week more and I can seal her. But meanwhile since the paint was only a little tacky I plopped her on the scanner so you can finally see her true colors in all her glory. I think this has to be the longest I have ever spent on a single painting and probably the most "new" things I have tried in a single piece (oils over acrylics, my first painting with a specific tiki theme, my first full wood panel painting, my first Moai). I think before I move on to another highly intensive painting, I am going to do a more simple fun one I have in mind: a "Wacky Packages" style parody of the Puffa Puffa Rice Cereal box with a hula girl.

Alright, now on with the show... I am happy to present to you ladies and gents: "The Bubble-bath Voyeur", a 16 X 20.5 inch piece showcasing luscious mermaid flush ogled by a lascivious Moai.:P

Some close up details...
