Kai Koa - thanks, this is a complex one, and I really wanted it to pull together and be focused like "Jungle Witch", of course while that one is so still, this one has so much movement - from the ocean.

I stepped back and had to really look hard at what I was doing.
Make sure I wasn't just putting things in with out seeing how the relate to all the other objects in the painting.

So, here on da' islands we have geckos.
It's good to have them in your house because they help eat the bugs.
I raised them when I was a little kid in the mid west, with great care building terrariums, now I live in one giant gecko habitat.
You get to have these delightful little lizards around for free!
Couldn't keep them out if you wanted to.
This one, seems to have really gotten to enjoy my working in the studio.
He's always on the wall or ceiling next to me while I'm painting.
I have not gotten him completely tame, but he's fairly unafraid now.
