Aloha Tiki Tribe!
I was looking at my sketch books, and started to put together my studies for the Night Marchers painting.
This is the epic painting I have been building up to doing…. ( I think! )
(… I hope! )
I made a special folder to put them in…
So many studies!
Some very rough, right out of a dream, scrawled in my sketch book.
Some more thought out, ...too thought out (?)
This marcher's look I keep coming back to as something I want to make all the way to the painted image…
Our new stairs, I feel much better about…
More..aquatic looking which is interesting…
That TIKI look and feel I really dig…
Tiki Marchers with glowing ghost squids, (that came from a mother dream)
An early stair - see, they WERE more straight. I knew I had gone off the rails.
This study of the sunset and clouds made me stop and really think about
how I was not getting all that I wanted, and re-think what I was doing.
Early study of how animated the Black Cat could be.
This was too busy!
Early and classic looking marcher study.
This made me think of my painting about the Menehunes
that only come out at night, and their description to me
by a Hawaiian friend, who's mother said she saw them when she was
a little girl, they were dancing round a fire on the beach.
A fast cat study… how do you walk nonchalantly?
This drawing on the right will be his head.
Here I wondered should they all carry only Torch Flowers? Maybe some could have
magical weapons - I was reading some tales of legends of such things.
A test of a tiki headed skeleton, with notes on what should
happen to his feet.
Night Marchers, or ghosts in Hawaii, are often are described as having no feet touching the ground.
But I need feet for the unending stairs to work,
...so should I use a translucent look, a blue color?
My most recent skeleton study.
A lot of work and thought into this one! Thanks for coming along the ride.
I've been distracted by many $ making projects, so want to focus and get more
organized on this wonderful painting that still gets me excited when I think about it.
big Mahalo and ALOHA!
