Hey Dave!
Thanks for the visit!

Energy?
the secret is NAPS!!
1-3 a week

Hope you feel better soon and are getting back to the carving!
it's cold here in the studio in Cali
i can't even imagine Wisconsin!
i salute you in your dedication!

The Orator's Stools are great! the ancestor is embedded and present and it is brought out to help settle village matters...
that Solomon Islands Dog-thing ....i believe.....goes back to their mythology where dog taught them everything,how to hunt and even how to build canoes.....
at least that's how i remember it...
Can't wait to see the work you tackle from the ol Solomons!

Here's where I'm at with that piece.....

added more detail and molding of the contours of the carvings on the face..

some wood grain and texture and rings and a background coming into focus.....

Jungle background with a subtle sun,echoing the eyes of the ancestor

and FINALLY finished this one!
"Pool and Moonlight"
(been really into moons and reflections lately)
acrylic and cel-vinyl on gessoed masonite

Here's his face... i LOVE his eyes!

Would you loik some fruit,Mister?

the two other wooden carvings by the moonlit pool

a Cannibal
(who i would LOVE to make into a mug someday!)

This little guy has actually popped up in a previous painting from my "After Hours" series
with Tiki bar interiors....
Anyways,here's the sketch i had for the mug a while back..

Here's the tribal Carving at the base of a palm
and the side motif on the right

Here's the moon and clouds and a bit of the structure...
i had to do a LOT of color washes to get this NIGHT looking
but it paid off
so daddy is pleased....

The top o the palm
a Witco-ish wood sculpture on the right
some leaves in the corner
and a motif up top

and a final view of the building and walkway to the pool

Thank you again for the visits
G'night ALL!
