Really dig the Lonely Sea one! You really captured the ocean waves.
So how is the POP one coming along? Anxious to see your progress.

Greg, I'm not very refined and I have a hard time "getting" abstracts. So I Googled Tahitian Motor Hotel to help me decipher it and your 2 paintings are number 2 & 3 out of 170,000 on Google images!  But I do get the waves and it's bitchin'

Hi TikiG good to see you post here again.
I wish you had a photo of
Sven with the painting held next to his cheek.
Have you seen the Zombie Torch? You have the clay prototype from our swap?
Cheers, Wendy

Hi Wendy -
Yeah its great to be back here on TC...I've been busy with all sorts of painting projects, not all of it is polypop related so I refrain from posting the non-tiki stuff here.
I do keep an eye with all the latest art here on TC although I may not respond with the normal "I like" response. I love anything hand-made and from the heart regardless of the subject matter.
I do keep up with your art here, and what can I say regarding your art Wendy?
Well please allow me say "You've come a long way baby!!"
My art swap piece from you is a treasured piece and yes I have it, it always receives the highest props from friends. Its a piece of history that never fails to give me great vibes. I do want to say I'm saving up to purchase one of those beautiful chunky resin lamps you collaborate on (soon hopefully.)
Thanks for stopping by and saying hello! G

Well TikiG what can I say except you fed my ego. I really enjoyed what you just wrote. Thank you very much, Wendy

Greg, good to see you posting again. I think you are one who can go into the "Growing Artistically" column too - your portraits have gotten amazing over the few years I have been watching.
So is Sven going for some moko?

Aloha!
I'm posting a quickie pair-o-paintings I finished this evening -
"Wood & Stone"
Acrylics/ ink wash on 5" x 7" canvas panels.
Recycled wooden frames bought at a thrift shop.
May 24, 2012.
I know they're elementary in style and presentation - but exactly what the client wants!
Plenty more in the works, I'll be posting again sometime (soon I hope.) Cheers! G

Hi Tiki G, its so fun to have met you at Caliente. I really like these two tikis in frames. You got them to look like they are alive with personality rather than stiff wood and stone. It gives a very strange vibe that makes them different. Good job, Wendy

@Wendy - Thank You!
The following painting is a Tura Satana study I did over the Memorial Day weekend - a warm-up piece using acrylics - for another portrait that will be painted in oils instead and submitted to the Tura Tura Tura II art show at the M Modern Gallery in Palm Springs, CA on Friday, July 6, 2012.
"Tura Satana Study #2"
Acrylics on 16" x 20" gesso board.
May 28, 2012.
Thanks for stoppin' by - more art posting soon! G
