Finally; signed, sealed, but not yet delivered. Christmas present for my son. It is his image when he was out there, somewhere "on the road." I started this back in November, but due to semi-major, life-interrupting medical situations I was unable to finish it on time. Finally, mid-January, I can say..."it's done." I did present it to him unfinished at Christmas and I think he was really pleasantly surprised. This one he is willing to hang in his studio. That tells me that he REALLY does like it.

This has been sitting on my easel so long that I will miss it, but I am also anxious to move on to other things. For one, I am co-chair for the annual art festival at my church in April, so I imagine from here until the close of that show, it will be very busy.
Thanks for looking in on my blog. A comment is always appreciated.

ReplyDeleteWow Lokelani, this is amazing. I bet he does love it, all of the wonderful detail. I hope your health is ok now. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteThank you Barbara and thanks for visiting. I am healing beautifully.
ReplyDeleteNo wonder your son likes this, Lokelani! There sure is a lot of precision and detail in it! I have played guitar for many years, so I really appreciate the work that went into this complex subject!
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear that your health is improving.
Thank you so much Dean. I honestly had no idea how complex and precise it was going to be until I started on the guitar. Lots and lots of "do overs" later was I finally able to say..."that's it, I'm done."
ReplyDeleteThat's the biggest compliment that you can get, when your children say they think it's beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnd it is beautiful, wonderful composition and handling of the paint.
Erik, yes I agree with you about your child's opinion of your work. If it's something they don't care for you know it. Thank you for your kind comments.
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful! You are very gifted.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

ReplyDeleteI LOVE the guitar painting of Kimo. You got the hands just perfect with the 'light' focused beautifully. Good job. I bet Kimo loved it.
ReplyDeleteSharon...welcome. Yay...You finally got to post. I really appreciate that you dropped in to check it out. Yes, he absolutely loved it, even moreso because it did not show his face, but everything else is him. And thank you so much for the comment.
