This mixed watermedia painting has had several lives. It started out as a figure painting and morphed into some sort of totem that I called “The Big Kahuna”. It was OK in this form–the colors were interesting, but the shapes just weren’t good enough. As it was hanging around my studio and I needed an entry for a watercolor show, I began to carve out the building and cave-like shapes. Once I had the roof-line, I knew it was going to be more successful as “Come Into My Cave” then it was as a big Kahuna. This painting is approximately 20×28 inches, unframed and is for sale for $900.00
