     Life-sized whale tail sculpture for  Molokai Fish & Dive in Kaunakai, Hawaii.
Painted with the help of neighborhood kids.
     My parents taught me how to use tools to build things and I have often worked as a carpenter.
     Made of wood that was on it's way to the dump with boat building techniques, lathe nailed to a sculpted plywood frame.
There's a chance it's even sea worthy.
     Since the tail could be viewed through the windows I  painted a spine on the back.
90 Paintings in 90 Days, Molokai, Hawaii, 2011
A project I designed to become a better painter through daily practice. The clam shell was so frustrating that I scraped all the paint off the canvas and left it in the series unfinished, because it looked better than what I was trying to paint. Surprise, it was the first one to sell.
