Here are pictures of the process from start to finish. The piece is currently located at MoSa’s Joint Restaurant in Tamuning, Guam.
It has been quite the wet July, complete with a couple storm scares, birthdays, surfing, Liberation Day parade, nights out after the storm, and other shenanigans. Some random imagery from our rainy season adventures here on Guam…
Going for something a little different, and very colorful. This piece is maybe halfway done… My easel right now:
