Aloha tiki Tribe!
Hope u R having a good holiday week sand. I'm in the art studio makin' da' tiki art for my July 4th Art Show in "La at La Luz de Jesus Gallery".
gotta finished the SEA WITCH…

Hope to finish much tonight.

Getting the sunset put in…

Sunset and clouds and light hitting the eaves, shinning through and under…

I bounce around the canvas and put in tabs and highlights here and there as seem fit…

All very different than any other painting I've done. I put half that to learning, and half that to the great distractions of hang my art art stolen and the lawsuit that followed..

No, my friends, art and anger, and big city lawyers trying to "get your goat" at a 14 hour repo do not all fit tougher well.

The good thing that's come from all this is the great well wishes I got from the Tiki-Tribe around the globe, and the powerful support and aloha I got form HAwaiian people who'd made the islands their him for generations. Great depths of "aloha" that go so far beyond the narrow minded money focused greed of big on-line corporations.
I am honored and humbled by the wonderful friendships that I found from the elders of the local Hawaiian people.
I got to explain what "tiki-Culture" was ..and is around the whole world, and they got to tell me how I was being "called Home" to create this certain type of art by powerful forces of the universe and the polynesian world in particular. Wow, quite wonder stuff.
Who knows, when it's all over , perhaps I'll be a better artist because of it all.

Big Aloha!
