Magnum Mania!

This is my last try...I think I'll keep it. 24 X 30 acrylic on canvas...need to build the frame now. It was a bit of a challenge to do something in that scale from such low resolution references. and for reference...

Impressive work, Aloha Friday!

Thanks Styles, like I said in an earlier post...I got a little obsessed with recreating the painting. The first two tries were based on erock308's (I think) mock-up of the two Gauguin paintings. The other three, I worked off of a somewhat out of focus screen capture while watching Magnum on TV. I got about as close as I could get. Oil paint might have a better result, but I'll save that for someone else to try. The big one I am keeping, but if anyone is interested in any of the others, they can PM me.

finished with the frame...

If you ever do a run of those please contact me me especially if you do a finished piece already in the frame like that. Would be very interested.

Absolutely amazing I think. Would really love to have a exact copy with the exact frame that you finished up with if you're interested please contact me. I have been wanting one of these for quite sometime

Only Looking I think I sent you a PM...it shows in my outbox as sent, but if I look in sent messages there is nothing indicating I sent a message.

Well it is official I know have waited all these years to get a replica of the painting and I now have it on my wall. I got the pleasure of meeting Aloha Friday today. Not only did I get the chance to meet him but I also got to see several of his other amazing works. Not only is he a very talented artist He's also A good person and very humble Of his talents. Thank you for doing this for me it was a pleasure doing business with you and getting the chance to meet you and spend some time talking with you today. Tomorrow would have been my father's 80th birthday and ironically enough today is his father's birthday so they so if I can get a bunch of happy birthdays wishes For our fathers, Would greatly be appreciated.

Thanks for the nice note...great meeting you today. A fellow Maniac! Don't forget to post a picture of your guest room when it is finished.

This sounds like a great Magnum-Mania moment. Best wishes to you both!

I say we all get together in person and meet each other. On Oahu. On the grounds of Robin's Nest. Yeah, I know... I know... but we can crash the place, can't we? By the way, I'll be the one driving KITT. I imagine Pahonu will arrive by sea since he's all about boats. Conch will probably arrive in some type of Conch-mobile, I don't know. Who else is coming?

I’d love to purchase one if you have any left- of all things my son keeps making a comment of wanting that painting so I decided to Google it and here I am. Just let me know if you don’t mind. Thanks!
