Aloha Tiki Tribe!
Hope you all had a great HAPPY ALOHA FRIDAY!

That was from my evening walk last night…

in da' studio:
Black Cat and the Night Marchers STILL being worked out.
I know , rocks rocks and rocks! My agent is dumb founded as to how long I am working on getting the rocks just right. But, I say, everything has to be perfect, or it won't …"work". I know, it's hard to explain. I seem to paint by my gut feelings.

Here's a closer look, I'm getting happy with it.

The glow-from-below will highlight a night marcher figure.
Here's a sketch for that one…

and a closer look

each Night marcher seems to be evolving on it's own swell.

This is gonna take a while to finish.
So, I don't burn pout, or go off on a wrong direction, I'm starting a few other pieces,.
A Commission.
My most popular piece seems to be Tiki Cat. so I finally am doing a mate piece "Tiki Dog"
here's a sketch:

This is a real dog, his name is "Kahu"… I had a dog like this when I was a kid. I think she was my first "love".
so this should be a great painting to work on. for many reasons, now to see if I can make it as iconic and as
perfect as "Tiki CAT"!

Also...
Working on a few new studies for some other new paintings.
Patrons got so excited about Tiki -Dog, but were unhappy there was going to be only one original , so I thought about this...
This is "TIKI PUPPY" or "TIKI-PUP"
pencil study #1

that's all for now…laters!!!
