Thanks so much! I really appreciate the kind words. And you're right, both the skull and that painting are the same palette. |

Can't really say I'm too much into horror or creepy stuff actually. I was really inspired by Ken Ruzic's painted skull though! It is fun painting on things other than flat canvases and this is just another thing! |

Robert, I think you need to come to the dark side and start sculpting some 3D stuff :D |

It's been on my mind, believe me! Hate to stop the acrylics train right now though! :)

Now Mike! You know I have my other non-Tiki art life that calls me away every so often.... As to colors, this one may be another monochromatic piece like the recent Ku painting. |

Awesome piece Zero! It seems like the unfinished picture is a little brighter in tone than the finished one, is it because of the camera or lighting when you took the picture? Either way it is pretty darned cool.:wink: |

Thanks Mike & Tigertail! The final is more true to the finished painting. The earlier shots are all taken in my studio with my Canon Rebel and a 50mm lens which really warms up the image. That final image was scanned and color corrected, and yet even that one doesn't completely match the softness and warmth of the painting. Worked on a sketch today for an idea I've had for some time now. I have a number of ideas that further the narrative of my fictional island and this is one of them. Did some rough comp'ing in Photoshop and hope to start this one in a few days! |

Three fantastic tikis in a row but what amazes me most is that you bring such different emotions to the monkeys faces. They emote such feelings. I'll love watching this next one develop. You are such a fine painter, Wendy |

Wow Zero this one is going to be incredibly moody with all the light and shadows. I can't wait to see it, this is my favorite sort of lighting for paintings. Keep on trucking brother! :) |

Yes it is Mike! There is a bit of danger in the air as these chimps get whatever that is to it's destination. Also, I finally gave into the pleas of my 5 year old daughter and will be attempting to paint a female chimp.....and I may be adding my daughter's likeness to the small girl in the boat as well!
