Wish List #8. While doing clay all day I do Black Velvet painting in the evening. So doing a little at a time it took 3 months to finish this one for Mondo-By-The-Bay. It won't take that long to put up the photos!

The Disneyland Spitting Tikis are really popular for my paintings. Mondo sent this photo and asked that I do a painting with them.

I printed the photo in the size that would work for my canvas size and then I cut out the tikis.

I will use the cutout areas as a guide for painting the tikis. For me art is also a craft.

I use a light gray to block out the tiki designs.

Then I remove the cutout page from the velvet.

Now it's time to do the garden. This takes many layers and is constantly changing.

This looks fast from the photos but it isn't. But it's so worth it in the end. Next up will be the tikis. Wendy
