Aloha all...
I decided to paint a cocopalm fiber Easter Card for my grand daughter, Lauren. This is the beginning of it...a special Easter Egg. She won't see the card until Easter, so I'm not going to post the photo of it until after.
...
...
The beginning of the Happy Easter Card for Lauren.

The finished card. That's Lauren's little house.

In the top photo, I'm painting at the computer-table. I took some photos of 15B so you can see my simple living/
working area through the open door...

My best painting place for Greenbacks.
...
Check out the latest Greenbacks HERE.
...
Here are some reasons for the revisions I'm the making in the Kanaloa PF Greenback raffle:
Painting cocopalm fiber as I do is unique and the Greenbacks make interesting and different Artist Trading Cards.
Each Greenbacks is an original painting...acrylic on gesso on cocopalm fiber.
As I learn "tricks-of-the-trade" with my painting of Greenbacks, the product has improved.
The first drawing is for a choice of a Purple Feather Person palm frond face. There will be twenty-five numbers representing Kanaloa PF Greenback Numbers 21 through 45. Each Greenback will have a 1 out of 25 chance of winning custody of one of these PFPs for its owner. Those are pretty good odds for a raffle.
The raffle ticket (the Greenback) retains value even if it is not the winner...it's not to be thrown away.
The whole plan is to sponsor this website, boomerangart.com. I imagine that it might even be a tax writeoff for a business.
As I continue painting Greenbacks, the trading value of the Greenbacks from past drawings should increase.
These little pieces of original art, 2-1/2 X 3-1/2 inches) have a history which is already documented on the Internet in this website.
Instead of six Kanaloa PF Greenbacks selling at US$25 each, I'm going to make it ten Greenbacks at $25. Once potential collectors see and handle any of the Greenbacks, they should realize that any of these Greenbacks are worth more than $25. My intention is to generate $1000 sponsorship money from each of the ten PFPs selected in the ten different raffles. So, PF Greenback Numbers 21 through 30 will be sold for $25 each and PF Greenback Numbers 31 through 45 will sell for $50. It may take a long time to get the first batch of sponsors, but I'm not in any desparate hurry.
The second drawing will include PF Greenback numbers 46 through 66 and they will have PFP 24's face on them. These Greenbacks will be sold for US$50 each and each will have a 1 out of 20 chance of winning a PFP. Here's what the head side is going to look like:
...
Something like this. See PFP 24... HERE.

These cocopalm fibers came from a special coconut palm from the Polynesian island of Kaua'i. Each PF Greenback is saturated with Aloha.
...
It's March 29th. The second drawing of the Purple Feather Greebacks will be with twenty tickets, numbers 46 through 66. The Purple Feather Person featured will be PFP 24:

It's the 30th. On Easter afternoon, Betsi and I went to Polihale to catch the sunset. I didn't get out the camera until we got to the stop sign, now stop signs:
