Aloha Tiki Tribe!
OKee DoKEE... now the painting is starting to look like something worth looking at...

"The RED TIKI Lounge"
24" x 30"
With the hot rod filled in a bit, and some interesting things happening in it's reflections and the grill - now the painting has fewer giant holes of blank canvas in it and ya' get a sense of how it might flow around and become sweet eye-candy... I think the green of the front flora will continue in some sort of cool tones through the Crazy Al Zombie, thus framing the warm hot rod, which connects back to the sunset.

This raises the question what color should the RED tiki Lounge be?

Hmmm... OK, most of you just said well RED ya' big dummy! And that would make a lot of sense, but will that be too much of the warm colors?
Maybe I actually want the lounge to be some cool hues to help circle round the car... I can certainly have the giant TIKIS out front and the "TIKI" sign can be some sort of RED...but I gotta think of how it all will balance out.

Gosh, you would think color would get easy after a while, but I always seem to paint myself into a corner (heh heh) ... OK color is not really all that hard... time to get out the handy dandy color chart... and now I just gotta think of warm to cool to warm to cool... to layer the painting and make it have depth .... right?

Big A-loha, and big MA-halo for watching the Paint dry!
