So tonight i thought i'd relax with the Towering Inferno and some Vonnegut later on...
But for now,i had some time and so here's some more step-by-steps
with a final cherry on top Tour of the finished painting!
AAAAAAAAAAND as an extra bonus
I'm gonna throw in a free miraculous shot of my new Bleachjob!
face it....it's your Lucky Day...

Wendy-I'll be seeing YOU and Dan soon! Saving up some Hugs and giggles just for YOU!
You say you like the details..well you are in for a treat today!

seagoat-Nice to meet you as well.... man! i am NEVER seeing Melvins LITE again! just MELVINs....
at least BooBen and i caught a buzz out in the parking lot with booze bought at the liquor store across the street!
Mike's HARD Lemonade baby! i chugged it to impress Ben...
i don't think he noticed... :lol:

Cass-gripe and ye shall receive....
the squeaky wheel gets the grease...
:)

Here is the next session.....

adding shadows and highlighting a bit

Started giving this cute lil hut some attention...

jumble of thatching and palms....adding a strange transparency to the hut....
almost like ,because the village is sleeping,this world is overlapping into another...

BREAKTIME....

next session

Coming together quite CUTE-ily!

started adding some raw umber to get the darker shadows going
and to raise and recess certain parts of the piece
so the viewer ALSO experiences that dream-like feeling of the sleeping village....

Started fleshing out the "greeter" to the village...

BREAK...

next session

allowing for the grass of the ground to show thru and deepening the shadows of the palms..

finishing up thatching
and some landscape grass and such...

Wonderin what to do with the moon.....

the greeter and the front patio is turning out more defined...

Spent a few hours on the front porch and patio...

BREAK....
next session

wanted to get some ground fluctuation,tear away the steadiness of it,as it invites the world of dreams over to visit...

Here's a view down to the rest of the village..

Aloha Mr. Greeter!

Started visiting the little hut with the BIG pile of bones in front of it....

Raw umber and Naples yellow ....repeat...

Still have to do the palm Leaves...

Well Hello little fellar!
more on him later....

this is where i slept for 3 hours
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz...

BREAK....
FINAL BREAK....
last session.... this morn and afternoon....
and it's done!
"the Sleeping Village"
acrylic and cel-vinyl on masonite
16x20"

as you can see,the palms were developed and the shadows were deepened...
and i played around with the nose of this guy....

Before....

After

Come on down to the porch...it looks so nice here in the moonlight....

Don't go in...i hear snoring...shhhhhh!

What a pretty moon up in the sky,eh?

Let's walk over to this side of the hut and check out the two worlds overlapping....watch your step!

it seems to be growing right thru the roof!

HUH?!?!

Whew! we can at least breathe up here...
a little less tangled up....

Let's float over HERE!

a nice Peter Pan vantage point of the sleeping village...

Little Cutey hut appears to consumed too much kava!

little hut/big skull-pile seems to be contentedly watching the events unfold....
i wonder if it's the spirits in the bones that are crossing from their world into this one.....

Somebody should clean up the front yard...that's a health hazard!

most certainly HIS Health hazard!

and the greeter bids us a fond adieu
and hopes we enjoyed the tour!

on a side note...
remember this cutey little guy?

Well, i've been finally giving my kid's book "the Little lost Tiki" some serious thought...
Started looking at old notes and characters and eliminating some and adding others in the pantheon..
Anyways,this fellow reminded me of these travelling throne drawings i had done yeeeears back...

that got me thinking about the children's story
and DING!
this piece inspired some potential characters....
this little walkabout chap!

and Hut and Urch!

Kind of an extension of my happy Hut theme...but with LOCOMOTION!

like this dude's lil legs! hahahaaha!

Anyways,i gotta go relax and psyche myself up to do the tedious part of vending
pricing/signage/setup....ugh!

Best part about it
is MP is coming down to crash at the studio Saturday and Sunday night!
ARTJAM!!!!!!!

Until then....

Oh wait!
here's that little treat i promised y'alls!
MY BLEACHED HAIR IS BACK!!!!!!!
joy!
:)

Aloha Chillens!
