Hello Tiki Lovers,

Happy New Year! :) I hope you are all doing well and having a great new year so far.

I want to show you two new paintings in the "Panda and Me" series. The first one is "Panda's Underwater Adventures," in which Panda is an underwater photographer hanging out with new friends. The second one is "This will tickle only a little," in which a Mermaid Artist is carving a Tiki.

I did "Panda's Underwater Adventure" as a gift for my friends Andy and Kinner's sea themed baby room. Andy and I collaborated a lot in art school and so getting to do something together again was a lot of fun. I made my painting to coordinate with Andy's piece:

The second painting "This will tickle only a little," is about a Mermaid Artist putting the finishing touches on her Tiki sculpture. The Tiki is getting ticklish as the Mermaid is delicately chiseling his nose... it's like the artist and the artwork are having a back and forth conversation with each other. When I am painting for hours, I feel the artwork takes a life of its own and dictates the next move. It's my job to follow what the artwork wants. :)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed looking at my paintings!
