Wow!
Just cleaned the studio and got every available inch of wall
festooned with paintings....
As well as creating new pieces for Mojave Oasis in a few days...
Please excuse my long periods of absence...

Wendy! I missed you at Don's on Saturday (arrived around 3:30)
So i guess that means you get TWO hugs next time!

Midnight Feast is great! I just love your work, LLT. I just went back and read page one to see if you sell your stuff online or have a website but the website link sent me to FB and I friended you. So you know who that is.....it's me.
Hello LoriLovesTiki!
We have the same initials! :lol:
Glad you like the "Midnight Feast"
the Blackline for it is going into the Ohana:Luau on the Lake magazine
as a Coloring Page for the kids....After i scanned it,i just couldn't
resist coloring it! Let's hope the kids think the same! :)
And yes... i DO sell my work.....a WHOLE bunch!
But,being much more interested in the what painting lies around the corner,i have a very low-pressure approach to sales...
If a person loves a piece of art enough,they will email me with an inquiry....i then send them a price and we go from there..
Very easy and i can spend more time painting
instead of chasing sales and promotion...
Again...Thanks for visiting this thread.....There's a LOT of art and witty banter and even some keen observations in these 198 pages...
Enjoy!

Maori bowl is my fave, love the layering of colors. I still want a coffee table art book of your work. :)
Thanks Pal
!that Maori Bowl took awhile between colors being layered
drying time
then the bleachpen
let it set
wash it off
more drying
then more ink washes
drying time
and finally the sharpie and dry medium...
Real stoked it still retained that sloppy "immediate" feel.
a Coffee Table tome?
All i need is a publisher and an assistant
and your wish will be granted! :)

Tom threw me down a Lava Letch,one of his mugs from Frankie's Tiki Room,after i had berated him for slapping a 3-color bleed on these and hawking em like hotcakes...I wanted to show the boy how to give this design some PROPER attention,care,and detail..... Needless to say,it flew off the table at Viva las Vegas ,and right into a collector's grimy hands! :) Hopefully,this will motivate Toe to paint one up PROPER-LIKE! Cuz it would look sweeeeet! :)
