hang10tiki thank you. It is so large I hope it will go well.

=============================

Wish List #8 this Black Velvet is for Stephen Seaton.

He sent me three examples of what he wanted in his painting. First were these stars in different sizes.

Next the hut in the background but this isn't going to work out. He will have the option of rejecting the painting if it doesn't work for him. Then I will use it for the Tiki Oasis 2018 art show.

Then he wants a moon with a wisp of a cloud.

As shown before he picked out his three tikis and how they will be placed on the canvas.

I used the reverse cutouts as templates to rough out the tikis.

I did this using the acrylic paint mixed with water.

Now that I know their positions I can decide how to proceed.

First I marked the mouths.

Next I cut up the photos so that I could map their foreheads.

He wanted them in a jungle setting so I did some bamboo first.

Here is the brighter photo with more lights on it.

At the very end I can see I need some bamboo behind the center tiki. I will do that lastly.

The clay projects are still drying. Winter humidity just makes it take a very long time. Wendy
