Aloha Tiki Tribe!
I got stuck on my painting. Was too close and could not see what was wrong, and kept painting and it was getting worse!

So I took a break. Lounging in my work clothes in my favorite chair - my Elvis Jungle-room chair.

And when I sit in my tiger chair I can see the back yard.

Sometimes ya' gotta stop and soak in that big blue back yard goodness!

So what was wrong - it was the whole Tiki Lounge front. I painted out the whole thing. Made the tikis a little bit smaller, made the roof beams so they made sense a little more, and got to figure out my light source(s) better, and added in the all important mystery wahine!

Deep breath. Clear out all that chatter going on in the "monkey brain". And the muse of art will show up about sunset time, and let ya' know what needs to be fixed....
OK, it doesn't always work that easy, but (thank goodness) tonight it did!
BIG ALOHA!
