I thought you all would appreciate seeing some of my wife's artwork. Although she's not Hawaiian nor does she do Hawaiian Kine art very often, but she is an accomplished award winning illustrator (and the most beautiful wahine in the world!) so here for your viewing pleasure are a few of her "tiki" kine paintings! Heres a nice watercolor called "Worshipping Wahine" This next one is of the Goddess Pele (this painting hangs in the Makawao steakhouse, Makawao Maui, Hawaii) Another "worshipping wahine" watercolor! This next one is called "the Buta" and looks more indonesian but still "tiki" enough for me! Heres a beautiful watercolor called "Dream of the Mermaid". I added this one just for fun! Again, this ones not real "tiki" but its one of my favorites and ten times more impressive in person! You can also check out her other works (painting, photography and even carvings!) at: http://www.ebsqart.com/Artists/cmd_634_profile_portfolio__1_1_T.htm Some of these works are also available as prints if anyone is interested, just PM for info! Mahalo for looking and Im sure she'd love to hear your comments and aloha! For miki'oi Authentic Hawaiian Makau, check out my website!

Some of the best painted artwork I've seen on here in a long while. Illustrator? Forget that tag. I like her work very, very much. Absolutely the best (and only, how refreshing!) watercolors I've seen posted here. She can hold her own anywhere. What with your carving and her painting, I just don't know. Tremendous.

BTW, you forgot "Polynesian Princess", which definitely deserves to join these paintings here on TC. "Picking Daisies" is really cool too, but in a freaky way. I wish my wife was an artist! Although, nothing would get done around here...

I used to have a book as a kid called "Faeries" , with beautiful watercolor work that I still love to this day. It was similar to the famous Tom Clark "Gnomes" book. Was she a self-taught artist?

You need to sign her up so she can start a thread and keep us up to date with what she has going on. I would really dig seeing some progress shots of a painting. I don't think I've seen much of that 'round here. -Gman
KK kaha kii Tiki Socialite Laguna Beach California Joined: Dec 13, 2005 Posts: 277	KK kaha kii Posted posted on Tue, Jan 31, 2006 11:16 AM Aloha again Everyone! Well, my wife would like me to give all of you Big Mahaloz for all the kind words! I wish she would do more "tiki" kine art but she stays pretty busy doing her own kine art! Im sure she'll get the bug to do more Tiki/Hawaiiana stuff after seeing all your great comments and aloha! Ill see if I can get her to join TC maybe so she can post progress pics and such...So anyway, there was one "tiki" kine water color I forgot to add to the original post so here it is... This one is called "Polynesian Princess"... Hope you all enjoy this new one and when she does another tiki kine work, Ill post it for you all to spark! Mahalo again from the Cabanilla Ohana!
KK kaha kii Tiki Socialite Laguna Beach California Joined: Dec 13, 2005 Posts: 277	KK kaha kii Posted posted on Fri, Mar 17, 2006 4:43 PM Aloha again TC Ohana! Heres something new my wife has been working on which could definitely be considered "tiki"! She has painstakingly and masterfully created small shrunken head pendants from polymer clay. These pendants are highly detailed and include real hair! This is the first one she's just completed but I do know the next one will have more of a brownish leathery looking skin with straight brown hair as opposed to the curly greyish/black hair and wonderfully morbid greenish skin featured in this piece... This buggah measures around 1-1/2" in height and mounted to some nice cord Im sure... So, take a peek at the amazing job she did! Your comments and aloha will be well recieved and I will happily pass along the response to her! Mahalo for looking!

This could be the voodoo to take care of a scoundrel, maybe you maybe not. These are Really nice shrunken heads, My respect for your wahine went through the roof, They are difficult to do and she did such a perfect job. You are very lucky to have such an artist be your wife. Nice stuff. [ Edited by: Benzart 2006-03-19 06:26 ]
