Hi,
My camera is out of whack and my friend's only shoots 72 dpi and it's a tough piece to capture...I tried a lot of different angles. The painting style is intentionally washed as per the guidance of Peter Seely (Vic's grandson) to capture the style of the bowl in the 50's (there are different variations out there - but just a few). I contemplated putting the piece here under collecting tiki but opted for the main discussion area. I felt it to be more of a Hawaiiana piece then tiki as, well, there's no tikis on it... I also thought about creating tiki and then realized, it's a re-creation. Happy to have it here for everybody to see even if it's in a test subject or waddevah! Thanks for the good words... 54 oz... man, I can't wait to share a cocktail with my wahine - but it'll have to wait to the weekend as it's...umm... kinda giant!!
