Glen Ellen Regional Park

       I went for a hike around Glen Ellen Regional Park a couple of days ago with a wonderful new friend who also enjoys getting out and walking in nature. Actually she says that she prefers running over walking, but this day we walked and hiked some pretty wet trails, but how beautiful it was! This is the lake that lies at the heart of this great little local park. I'll probably do some painting here soon.
       Mahalo for stopping by.  Aloha for now, Timo

A bit more on Moki



The painting of Moki Kau is coming along as I add more color. I've been working on his skin tones so he's starting to appear more realistic as it progresses. Remember that my reference for this is an old black & white 8"x10" glossy print done in around 1965. It's fun to do a color interpretation though. It makes me use my mind a bit more I think.

Aloha, Timo
