Hey Kids!!!
Thanks for all the visits and comments
they always bring a smile to my heart
and stoke those creative fires even more!

umeone-Aloha and Mahalo for the happy thoughts!
i always like to draw places that peep into my dreams
places i would love to live...hence all the detail
the more i paint it,the more i'm THERE...and that's a BLAST!
Come visit anytime!

tigertail-have yet to throw a blacklight on this thing...i'll save it for a special evening and report back....i painted a few pieces and embellished them with glow in the dark puff paint...that was a TRIP!!!
All truly good paintings require an intense concentration..a battle of wills with the surface....transforming it from a flat plane into a PLACE...i imagine all artists feel this to some extent...Thanks for the fellow artist chitchat!
