Aloha Conga, my Northern friend!

Hard work on this one indeed. Its wild when the painting takes so much more time then the carving, but that's what makes these pieces so much more fun... two mediums in one!
I did keep track of most of the painting time... something like 40 plus hours. Carving comes in at least 10 or so hours, mainly just relief work. Very fulfilling time though.
I have really fallen in love these past few years with PNG and all its art forms. So, so different, but still connected to the whole South Pacific.

Time is tough to find these days, but the little guy does sleep for periods of time. I really do appreciate the free time even more.

I to am sad that the bike will sit in hibernation. The cold has set in, and it looks like we're not going to get off as easy as last Winter.

Glad you enjoy your visits Conga, your work has always been inspiring to me. You and I regularly head down that road less traveled. :)
