Nice work as usual Sabu, I like the architectural tie in. Certainly seems as though the PNG architecture was incorporated before the art. Here are a couple other examples. This is a great shot of the exterior of a Butlin's Beachcomber that used the PNG architectural style and art on the exterior. Also the Bali Hai at Pontchartrain Beach in New Orleans. You can see a PNG style shield on the back wall of the Bali Hai next to the mural. The Bali Hai dates from the 1960s. Will have to peruse my files to see if I can find some art work. DC
