No. 134 / Levi
Original Pan Pastel + Charcoal— Paper Size 9 x 12 in. 

This is Levi. Technically, this image could be part of my guerrilla portraiture series People You Should Meet (PYSM), but it fits into the Tropical theme as well. Levi was our guide on a photo tour we did our last day in Kauai. 

Levi is a brand new father, loves photography, and is a native of Kauai. He is so enamored with his daughter it's quite special. He drove us to a number of special locations for once-in-a-lifetime shots. At one point in our travels he took us to a roadside stand to try real, unadulterated coconut water out of the shell. Yum!

No. 132 / Hibiscus 
Original Pan Pastel— Image Size 9 x 6 in. (paper size 12 x 9 in. )
Price: $132 plus tax and shipping ($2.30) 

Today's image is of a flower that can be found everywhere on the island in Kauai. They come in all sorts of beautiful colors and line local yards and roadways . . . the Hibiscus.

Also, remember when I said I would draw one of my email subscribers each quarter? I finally completed Kat's portrait for the first quarter! I only wish I could meet this beautiful lady in person. I used a combination of watercolor and Pan Pastel. 

Lastly, I threatened to share a wedding picture . . .

No. 71 / Roy Batty
Watercolor, Paper size 5" x 7" (less border .6")

This is the rogue replicant, Roy Batty, from the film Blade Runner. 

No. 64

No 64 / Steve Zissou
Watercolor, 5" x 7"  (with .6" border)
Price: $64.00 plus tax and shipping ($2.30) 

Today's painting is of another Wes Anderson character from The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Anderson often uses the same actors in his movies, which always adds that feeling of familiarity. Bill Murray's character is a washed up, self-absorbed oceanographer who drags his wife and crew through some ridiculousness on the high seas. It's thoroughly entertaining.

Price: $61.00 plus tax and shipping ($2.30) 

Happy Monday!

For those of you who are Wes Anderson fans you will recognize this lady. It is tragically depressed Margot Tenenbaum from the movie The Royal Tenenbaums. This one was fun to paint. I am looking forward to more of these!

No. 55 / Take off, eh?
Watercolor, Paper size 5" x 7" (with .6" border)

This is my rendition of Bob McKenzie from the 80s movie, Strange Brew. This movie is significant to me because of my friend, Will. He loved that movie and would recite lines from it for as long as I knew him. He had the movie rental so long he wound up owning it! And, it was with him I watched it the first time. He was a connoisseur of beer before it was cool, loved corny movies, and hanging out with his friends. I have thought of him often while working on this series and it always makes me smile. I had to watch this movie again in honor of him. Cheers, Buddy!
