Easter Island Moai

Saturday, May 13th, 2006

I’m thinking about Easter Island a lot these days, as I'm setting a scene in my novel there.

Picture of some Easter Island statues called moai that I found on a cool Easter Island site. They're on the slopes of Rano Raraku, an extinct volcano; they quarried stone for the monoliths or moai here. The stone is basaltic tuff, that is, stuck-together foamy clinkers.

Here’s another picture of the Rano Raraku site that I found on Wikipedia.

I’m starting on a painting of a surfin' moai. Next week I'll add the board and clean up the shading.
