Yea! Thanks pals! I appreciate your comments. I'm still exploring the look of the vintage menu cover art and composition, I think that there are still a few more of this style to be created. and I'm getting a little better at combining the watercolor and gauche. I wish I could have taken a pic of the frame. but I figured that It will be on line after the London Luau for 1 month and hopefully their pictures will show the frame. I am getting over my fear of the table saw that Ive owned for a few yrs and that makes it much easier to make my own frames.
Now I just need to get that bis-cut joiner. Dawn

My wife & I were first introduced to Dawn's work at the Tiki Art Now 3 ! in Seattle last September. Her stuff stood out so incredibly much from the others. (Sorry Shag, your 3 panel was very cool, but...) I've since seen dozens of her works, from both the past and in current progress, and there is no limit to what Dawn can do. I see a Tiki Magazine cover in her future, no doubt, and I'm so happy that we've become friends. Dawn is just as cool and fun as her amazing artwork. RIGHT ON, DAWN!!!! Congrats on the new stuff! -Andy

AAWWW, gawsh, thanks. I appreciate the acknowledgment. I feel like I'm just really getting started, on life in general. But especially on my art. Even thouh Ive been doing "TIKI" for nearly 20 yrs, I do feel like my ideas are just starting to really come together and that I'm finally making good art. and of course I'm always striving to be a better painter. and I definitely have learned alot form the amazing artists here on TC

What a great collection - the PNG ones are awesome. You have a quite distinctive colour palette in your paintings. I'd also like to see the rest if you get some pics.

I totally agree with Tekoteko your art is beautiful & I'm sure if he tried hard he could find something to hang a piece of your art on? Hope to see more of the finished pieces and maybe have an opportunity to buy one if there are any leftovers after Waldorf. Again, thanks for sharing these they are great!

Bula Bula kids.
I Just got rested up from the weekend in Vancouver, It was nice to see the Waldorf, maybe for the last time, I think that its closing soon. I sold a few paintings , but I still have many of them left. I will post all of the pics shortly and also post a selling notice in Marketplace. For those of you going to Portland next weekend for Tiki Kon V I will have some of these great little paintings available there as well. My goal is to sell out by the end of the month. I have dozens of larger pieces available if anyone wants to see just send me a message.
Thanks for all the great comments, Dawn
Here are the pics, I did them in groups of 4 to save some time and space
here is a sample of the frames, they are all a little different, still putting them togeather.
I also have these xtra fancy tiki necklaces available.
