20 x 24. A pair of mid-20th-century black velvet paintings depicting moonlit tropical coastal landscapes, characteristic of Pacific-themed folk art from the Tiki culture era. The scenes are executed in oil or acrylic on a black velvet support mounted to wooden board panels. Each composition features thatched-roof huts and palm trees illuminated by a full moon, with one painting also including a sailing vessel. The artist uses bright blue and white highlights to create a glowing effect against the dark, textured substrate, accented by warm yellow light from the hut interiors. Both works bear a stylized signature in yellow paint in a lower corner reading Vithuns. The paintings are housed in matching wide-profile, beveled wooden frames with a light-toned, natural finish. The verso of each consists of the wooden support panel with wire hangers and remnants of adhesive tape.
