Well, I have been MIA for what, about a year? :0 I've been guilty of hiding under a rock. It was not very comfortable. But Im back and with some incentive to get going again on creating more "escape to Tiki paintings". I've posted a new topic in collecting Tiki also about a set of glasses I have and need help with. Im also gonna post here a painting Im currently working on. Im kinda stuck and need maybe a few suggestions ..... Mahalo!

Maxfield Parrish,(I believe you're correct on the spelling)is one of my favorite Artists! I sometimes refer to his art to create mine. The colors that he worked with were awesome! :) The painting isnt completed yet, I've gotten a little lazy. But the weather is getting better and so is my incentive...

But there you have it. And I like it. Plus it begs to ask...HOW did she get in there? Did she stumble upon said evil crab while skipping through the EA heads? Will the hero use the spear to poke the eyes of evil crab? The suspense and wonder are killing me... Still love that giant crab...give us more
B Benzart Member Port Saint Lucie, Florida Joined: Jan 09, 2004 Posts: 10397	B Benzart Posted posted on Sun, Jun 20, 2004 12:19 PM Yeah give us more...Crab cakes that is. Cool twist, different use for the "Crab Pot" love it.

Guoache, pen and ink. Thanks, I'll keep try'in. I like the role reversal in the piece by Solomon too. Being on the Eastern Shore of MD, it's particularly ironic. We're all about crabs.

G gretanicole Member Dallas,TX Joined: Jun 20, 2005 Posts: 28	G gretanicole Posted posted on Thu, Aug 25, 2005 4:01 AM Someone too cool to say no to recently asked me to post some of my artwork here. This is my favorite Tiki painting (that's finished) =D It's 5"x7" These 4 below are oil pastels I just did. They're layered on top of black acrylic paint that's mixed with sand. I know these two don't have tikis in them, but I love fiery red, tiki sunsets. Here are some Tiki huts =D I've got a few unfinished tiki paintings that actually have "tikis" in them, but I haven't mastered the art of painting tikis yet. :cry: Until then, I'll be painting tiki huts. =D When I finish the "Tiki paintings with actual Tiki's in them", I'll post them. :)

You know, I didn't realize until posting here, just how much my style and colors change from week to week. Hopefully it won't be too long till I post some art with an acutal, ummm, tiki in it?! haha. I have a few more pieces here ... http://search.ebay.com/_W0QQsassZgretaQ5fnicole. Okay .... back to drawing. =D

R RenTiki Member Orange, Burnt O.C., Crispy Calif. Joined: May 05, 2003 Posts: 74	R RenTiki Posted posted on Wed, Aug 31, 2005 12:51 AM I never thought that this thread would grow so big! Outstanding! Everyone's artwork is so good and unique and just inspirational!! Hey Jungle Trader! My work area has been hijacked and turned into an office! OMFG. Yeah, one of those bizarre places where people file paperwork and answer phones. Oh don't worry, I see no evil beings lurking wearing ties or pantyhose. EWWwwwww. I guess I've been held hostage by the rat race. Puke. No fear, I have my paintbrushes stashed away patiently waiting for the fine aroma of turpentine and linseed oil. I just have to find the right time to sneak this file cabinet outta the back and into the dumpster. In other words, work has sadly taken over my studio. There is hope. I have paint, brushes and well, I'll get some time. Soon. I hope.:wink:
F foamy Tiki Socialite The Land of Pleasant Living Joined: Jun 15, 2004 Posts: 597	F foamy Posted posted on Wed, Aug 31, 2005 5:21 AM Hi Gretanicole, thanks a bunch. I haven't seen this thread since last year some time. As far as a web site, no. I do have a Cafepress shop at http://www.cafepress.com/slbradleydesign —it has a few tiki things on it. If you like that particular piece, let me know how you'd want it and I'll put it up. Thanks again, you made my day. Your work on the other hand is really sharp! Love that texture/black, thing you're doing. I see and learn so much here. Gotta start looking more regularly. I'm looking forward to your next pieces.
