It is called I SPY U and that is just because Oasis is International Espionage themed and the Disneyland Tikis look like they are staring at U! I have changed it up from last years version. This is the one from 2016. Loki Tiki and his wife Lori purchased my painting with mug. My inspiration. Now onto Tiki Oasis 2017 and I SPY U To get the shapes right I cut out a pattern that I can fill in. Once I have the heads down I removed the pattern. Black Velvet requires many layers. It is easier to paint if you have a bright light on the painting while working. A fan on yourself helps with the bright lights heating up the room. Once these are well started, not finished, it's time to place the plants. Flowers are a joy to paint. This is a Disney bird. I just choose plants that will fit into the spaces. Plant after plant. After a few weeks I'm done. Here is how I have the finished painting with the mug ready to hang at Tiki Oasis 17. We will be at the Artist's Reception on Saturday at 1 PM. This takes place where the art is hung in the foyer. See you there, Wendy [ Edited by: danlovestikis 2017-08-06 10:45 ]
