Ok, please forgive my description but I'm looking for a painting and need information. This was a picture that was basically one of those bargain basement type of things in the late 60's (???). it's a dark painted background with a single tiki statue. If any of you have been to Hala Kahiki in River Grove, Il it's near the front bar. I would really like to get one of these and have no idea where or how. I figured if I had more info on the picture, that would help out a great deal. |

I beleive you are referring to a print called "Pearl of Wisdom" - at least I think that's the name. I've seen it on Ebay quite a bit. Can't remember the name of the artist though. |

Dawn, look on page 14 of "Tiki Finds" in this thread, Basement Kahuna posted a picture of the Pearl of Wisdom print. I've been drooling over it ever since. But don't worry about me finding it on e-bay before you. I decided to paint my own version of it. I just finished the pineapple last night. If you do find more than one on e-bay, please let us know because someday I'd like to have the real one. Happy Hunting! |

Wow. I feel special... I found mine about a year ago at a Salvation Army store for $15. It's nice to learn it actually has an artist and a title. |

Geez, I saw one at Value Village about a month ago and didn't buy it [sound of head banging on wall repeatedly] |

I would go for it on ebay. I've seen it go for about $30 but it's rare that you find it. Save August Holland in your favorite searches and if you're patient enough you'll get a bargain. Also, if I find one I'll let you know. Swanky and I will be going on the I27 Yard Sale this weekend and I'll keep a good lookout! |

I think that would be a great topic... amazing finds that for one stupid reason or another, we just passed up- only to kick ourselves later (repeatedly!) I once found a set of 4 Mai Kai mugs (short, grey-ish with handle. pictured in BOT, no page number with me) they were $10. I had $10. But I was at one of those city-wide garage sales and I thought, "what if something better at another table?" |

I was thinking that too. I'll start a new topic. Look for "The one that got away."

The other August Holland tiki print that Al showed a picture of is titled "The Power Within" it's very cool also (check out the tikis in the trellis/screens on either side). I think it's harder to find than the Pearl of Wisdom, but maybe just 'round these parts. You may want to visit Trader Dave's shack at the all night flea market the weekend of Exotica, there may be a Pearl of Wisdom there.... |

I definitely will. That's one of the things I'm saving my money for, well that and I've got to get my hands on one of those tiki mugs at the KonaKai event. |
