Aloha Tiki Tribe, welcome into my art-studio creative-chaos-mess and please have a look-see at my current painting in progress...

"The Body Glove Sea Creature" (working title)
A huge battle over getting the moon-glow right. Sheesh, another painting where I painted the sky over and over till it "felt" right, or my artistic muse said it was close enough for now. Brush set to putting in something more fun, like the low-brow details of cartoon craters and such detail on the moon. Boy, there;s LOTS to do still. Freaks me out to think of all of it, so I have to just set my mind to one thing at a time.now: Moon. Next.. stars? Clouds maybe? The sea and it's reflecting moonlight waves, the lighting on the sand, the dark shadowy sea beast... I think more shadow with dramatic high lights in the most dramatic areas is best ... less is more so to speak. Some things to fix on the sea creatures structure I got after looking at Greg Browning's full life sized creature at Body Glove head quarters in Redondo Beach...
Much much more to come... big aloha! happy holidays!
Oh had some fun tonight, went down to the Don the Beach comber's Mai Tai bar at the Royal Kona Resort here in Kailua-Kona and saw Henry Kapono perform live.

Henry's a local legend, a Hawaiian rocker... but he plays everything from traditional Hawaiian songs, to classic rock, to surf music, to Rock-A-Billy, and once, I got to hear him do a scorching live version of "Stair Way to Heaven"!
Pono indeed!

Big ALOHA from the Big Island!
