DECEMBER SCHEDULE EN PLEIN AIR
Aloha December, aloha artists..what a gorgeous month, all the rain, & cheer, it's really a fun time. Check out PAPOH at www.papoh.com.. until December 1st you can get a great rate on membership. It's a wonderful local organization, & really helps you to get hooked up. PAPOH has numerous events throughout the year, & PAPOH prez, Jan Bushart, keeps us informed of shows, contests, & paint outs. I highly recommend becoming a member! Intake for 4th Annual PAPOH Juried Show is Jan. 31st. Check for more info at the "OTHER MUSINGS" section below.
DECEMBER SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE
2-WAI'ULI BEACH PARK,(AKA Leleiwi) Keaukaha- Wai'uli is our location for every first Thursday of each month, simply because it has never ceased to impress with it's easy charm & amazing views. With brilliant tide pools lapping at soft grass under shade trees,across-the-bay-views, boats, surfers, outrageous ocean, magnificent reflections, & endless sky, Wai'uli really has it all. Paint something new, bring "works in progress" for feedback, or finish up work from other sessions, it's a great time to connect with artists. Kalaniana'ole Ave, to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's Beach Park, plenty parking, pavilions, water & a real restroom.
9- KAMAE'E FALLS, U'mau'ma - Virginia Alderson and U’MAU'MA WORLD BOTANICAL GARDENS have generously granted us permission to utilize their grounds for this session. Located on private property with a gorgeous waterfall & expansive rolling hills (usually only available to patrons of the gardens). The location is a flat, exposed plateau, so bring your own shade source. The Botanical Gardens will allow us restroom usage. From Hilo: North up Hamakua Hwy. to mile marker 16, turn left there, follow signs to U’mau’ma Gardens. At the entrance to the gardens, turn mauka (away from the gardens)--follow the road uphill for approx. 1 mile. You will notice signs for Kamae’e Falls. Turn left, follow the "good" dirt road to the waterfall overlook. Bring your own water.
16- RAINBOW FALLS, Hilo – If it's raining, the falls will be pumpin, but no matters, it's always pretty here. The infamous rainbow is usually a morning thing.. gotta have the sunlight hit the falls just so. The major draw back to this site is the tourists, but then, you may see that as an opportunity. This area was once rainforest, so keep in mind that although the rainforest may have thinned out, apparently no one told the rain. Bring suitable gear. From Hilo, take Waianuenue Ave. mauka, follow the hospital signs, look for Rainbow Falls signage, turn accordingly. Bring skeeter spray if you want to explore the trails above the falls.
23- COCONUT ISLAND, MOKU OLA, Hilo- A small island off of Banyan Drive, next to Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, surrounded by turquoise waters & ancient false Kamani, the beautiful ocean views are magic. Accessed by foot bridge, but we usually end up just painting in the parking lot because it's so gorgeous right there. Water & bathrooms available.
30- WAILOA PARK, Hilo – An easy in-town-end-of-the-year location. It’s graceful curvy bridges challenge us, the expansive lawns, freely spreading trees, & calm river water provide a reflective atmosphere. In case of rain, it's an easy escape into a pavilion or under a bridge. From Manono Street enter the park on Piilani St. We usually say "meet in the area of the large pavilion", but you'll find us all about the lawns, painting boats, ducks or other fascinating stuff. Easy access, plenty parking, restrooms, ducks..

NOVEMBER PLEIN AIR SCHEDULE
ALOHA NOVEMBER, ALOHA ARTISTS! Well November's here, along with the season's first big swell-- & I do love a northwest swell. We don't really get the giant waves here on the east side of the Big Island, but it's so fabulous to feel the ocean on my face, & to breathe the heavy salt mists. I recently stood at Scenic Point watching big waves break on Blonde Reef, the white water rolling violently onto the breakwater. Big waves always bring a smile to my mug.
It seems we must constantly familiarize ourselves with this magnificent island that we're so privileged to call home, to keep pace with rapid changes, discover ancient secrets, & admire the aina. As painters, we can hook up with the Kona & Kohala Plein Air groups. It is a wonderful way to visit new locations, revisit old favorite spots, & meet artists! There's plein air groups on every island, but to paint with the other Big Island groups is a simple matter of getting on the email lists & doing the drive. Kona & Kohala groups both paint on Friday...

NOVEMBER SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE-
every Thurs. 8am, bring your own stuff, no fees
4-WAI'ULI BEACH PARK,(AKA Leleiwi) Keaukaha-Every first Thursday of each month begins here. Wai'uli never stops impressing us with it's easy charm & amazing views. Tide pools & brilliant grasses, shade trees, amazing clouds, across the bay views, boats, surfers, outrageous ocean, & magnificent reflections, it just never quits. Bring "works in progress" for feedback, finish up paintings from other sessions, or start something new. A great time to reconnect with the group & see what's cooking. Kalaniana'ole Ave, to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's, plenty parking, pavilions, water & a real restroom.
11- VIRGINIA ALDERSON'S HOUSE, Hamakua– We’ve been invited to paint at a private residence on the ocean swept cliffs at Kolekole! Virginia has graciously opened her lanai & grounds of her home to us. From Hilo: N. up Hwy 11, pass the Kolekole turnoff -over the bridge. Immediately after the bridge-makai side -is Virginia’s gated driveway. Thank you Lynn Nakim for setting this up, Thank you Virginia for your aloha!
18- KING'S LANDING (AKA- Lehia, or Pu'umaile)-It's original name is Lehia, the others are names earned through time.. At the end Kalaniana'ole Ave., just past Richardson's Beach Park, through the yellow metal gate (it'll be open), follow the dirt road along the shoreline to the end, you'll find us tucked under the trees along the shore. Views of pounding surf, wild seas, coastal Ironwoods provide ample shade. Regal Mauna Kea sits proudly before us. Parking, lua, & not much else, bring your own water.
25- BOTTOM OF HAILI STREET AT HILO BUS TERMINAL PARKING LOT- Thanksgiving Day! Not everyone is making or eating a feast..& even if you are, you may still want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to catch Hilo without the hustle & bustle of everyday. The ambiance is amazingly serene. Hopefully Gerald will be back for this, it's become a tradition.

OCTOBER SCHEDULE/en Plein Aire
Aloha October, Aloha Artists!
October is here with a bit of rain,& the return of the lovely trades. Good to remember to weight your easels, & have some rain gear available. The intake for EHCC's Fall Show is Saturday Oct. 30th, 9am- noon, but maybe call first (9615711), EHCC can occasionally be fickle with their scheduling. This years fee's are a bit higher it seems, $20 per entry for members, $30 for non-members. It's wise to enter tho, members from the State Foundation on Culture & The Arts purchasing committee have been known to frequent this show (& buy works) in the past years. Wailoa Art Center is hosting the E Komo Mai show, intake is: 10/30, 10am-3, $10 adult fee, $5 children's fee. This will also be a nice community art exhibit. Meanwhile, En Plein Air Artists, here's what Leslie has aligned up for October...
OCTOBER SCHEDULE, en plein aire-- Every Thursday, 8am, no fees, no humbug
7- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK, Keaukaha (formerly Leleiwi)- Every first Thursday of each month begins here. Wai'uli never stops impressing us with it's easy charm & amazingly morphing views. Tide pools & grasses, shade trees, honu, sea creatures, amazing clouds, across the bay views, boats, surfers, reflections, it just doesn't quit. Bring "works in progress" for feedback by fellow artists, or use it as a time to finish up paintings from other sessions in perfect lighting. A great time to reconnect with the group & see what's cooking. Kalaniana'ole Ave, to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's, parking, 5 pavilions & a restroom.
14- ALA HEIAU, Ola'a Puna - Hawaiian Paradise Park. From the Kea'au Pahoa Hwy, turn makai at Maku'u, follow down to the end. At the bottom of Maku'u turn right onto Ala Heiau Rd. follow to the end, park along the road, leaving access for the fishermen's trucks to pull in. Fabulous vistas of coast, tidepools, wind whipped trees, & rowdy surf from the safety of wonderfully shaded cliffs. We love this place! NO facilities, no water.
21-HILO BAYFRONT CANOE LANDING- Hilo Bay Canoe Halau, at Bayfront Beach Park -
Easy access, plenty parking, & beautiful views of Hilo town, the bay, Mauna Kea, colorful canoes parked at the halau along the shoreline. From Kamehameha Avenue, enter the beach park parking lot, makai side between Manono & Pauahi. Portable lua, water available.
28- WAILOA RIVER, MAUKA SIDE– We've painted across the river from this purple building under the enormous banyan tree a few times when we were having Sunday morning sessions. The purple building lends an interesting pop, wild reflections, & the unlikely perspective of an old plantation era building. Views of the Wailoa river, & pond, park greenways. No facilities, but it’s near by Cruisin’ Coffee & Cafe 100, & both have bathrooms. From downtown Hilo, driving towards Puna on Kilauea Ave., just past Aupuni Street & Crusin Coffee, you'll see a parking area situated below the billowing banyan, & next to the landmark purple building.
Another area to park is just behind Home Street Bank.. large shady lawn & multiple views.

SEPTEMBER SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE-
every thursday, 8am or whenever, bring your own stuff, no fees, no humbug
2- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK, Keaukaha – (AKA Leleiwi). Every first Thursday. Plenty of beautiful views, tide pools, sea grass, Honu, Nene, etc. An informal midday critique, bring recent work, or work in progress, any kine. Kalaniana'ole Ave. to Wai'uli Beach Park, ( just before Richardson's) 5 pavilions in a row, orange life guard tower on the point. Parking & lua.
9- KILAUEA IKI, VOLCANO NAT. PARK- From Hilo, HWY 11 to V.N.Park, & enter park through gate. Immediately after the passing the gates, make the first left onto Crater Rim Drive (before the Lodge). Follow the signs that read LAVA TUBE (Thurston Lava Tube). Before you come to the "Lava Tube", makai side (right) you'll notice a turn off with lots of parking, this is Kilauea Iki. Pull into this lot, this is Kilauea Iki. Keep in mind that there'll be plenty tourists. Kilauea Iki is a stunning crater, with crater black smooth pahoehoe, venting plume, lushly verdant steep sides, & breath taking vantages. Best in the morning, come early! If it's cloudy we'll move to a better location...
16– BABY BEACH, Keaukaha- A beach park that’s off the beaten path. Kalaniana'ole Ave, turn left on Onekahakaha Rd. Make a quick left onto Apapane Rd, then right on Lihikai Rd. At the road’s end park, walk down to a lovely, protected beach with swimming, trees, lava framed pools and Mauna Kea across the bay. A new spot for us! No facilities – walk to Onekahakaha for restrooms.
23- 17 MILE MARKER, Kama'ili, Red Road- This location usually features the Ocean Entry of the lava, with dramatic plume & coast. From Pahoa, Hwy 130 in Pahoa- past Pahoa high school traveling the Pahoa/Kalapana Hwy. Follow to the Kaimu/Kapoho turn down, makai side. At the lower makai junction turn left, towards Kapoho. You are now on the Red Road. Follow along the coast to the 17 mile marker. The road has been moved a bit back from the crumbling cliff. The artists usually perch in the shade trees along the edge of the old road, just above the ocean. A sweet slice of classic Hawaii.
30- RADIO BAY/BREAKWATER- Keaukaha-boats, ships, canoes, across the bay views, rocky shoreline, at the base of the Hilo Bay breakwater wall. Kalaniana'ole Ave., drive past the Hilo Port entrance, turn at the next left, just before the 2 large white tent structures.

AUGUST EN PLIEN AIR
Aloha artists, Aloha August!
The trade wind weather has been kind lately, brushing us ever so softly with just enough rain & gentle tropic breeze to soothe our senses & delight us with it's special magic. Hopefully these conditions will weave throughout August & September. I had the good fortune to attend the recent opening for the FRIDAY ART DAY GROUP at the PAHOA MUSEUM. It was simply wonderful! A fine tapestry of beautiful work by our friends & fellow artists! Please allow yourself the time to stop in & check it out. To hook up with the FRIDAY ART DAY GROUP check the "OTHER MUSINGS" section. Also of note are the ABSTRACT SHOW at the WAILOA ART CENTER & EHCC's group show with works by VIVIAN URSULA & FRIENDS.
You've probably noticed our blog has a new look. I wanted to recognize Mother Nature & her seasonal gift of these lovely long days, sunny conditions, gorgeous sunrises, & spectacular sunsets. Circumnavigate our island for painting sessions off your usual track, you'll surely be awestruck by Beautiful Hawaii. I always am. Me ke aloha, Amy
AUGUST SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE,
Every Thursday, 8am- whenever, no fees, no humbug, bring your own stuff-
5- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK, Keaukaha – (AKA Leleiwi). Every first Thursday. Plenty of beautiful views, tide pools, sea grass, Honu, Nene, etc. An informal midday critique, bring any recent work, or work in progress, all mediums. Kalaniana'ole Ave. to Wai'uli Beach Park, (before Richardson's) 5 pavilions in a row, orange life guard tower on the point. Parking & lua.
12- BEHIND BEN FRANKLIN, Hilo– At the backside of Ben Franklin parking lot, take the ramp to lower parking lot. Two old monkey pod trees lend shade & ambiance. Palm lined Hilo bay, historic Ponohawai St., an unexpected lotus pond, & a few mauka town views.
19- KUHIO KALANIANAOLE BEACH PARK, Keaukaha - Sail boats, beach cottages, reflecting tide pools, & occasionally a cruise liner slides by. Shady trees, parking, lua. Kalaniana’ole Ave., 1st left just past "The Ponds" restaurant, (formerly Harrington’s).
26- VENUTIA'S BAMBOO HALE, Peepeeko- Finally we return Venutia’s! Her beautiful bamboo home is in the gated community, just past the old sugar mill. It sits almost cliff-side. Fantastic views. From Hilo just between the 10 and 11 mile markers, turn makai at Sugar Mill Rd. (look for the large old mill cog), drive to gate. We need to enter as a group, not individually, so meet promptly at the gate at 8am, (we'll probably stand around for awhile & wait for stragglers, but don't bank on anything). If you're unable to make the 8am meeting time, call Leslie's cell in advance (prior to the 26th) to make arrangements. Views of rugged cliffs sheltered by ironwoods, & an ocean side pool w/ waterfall. Venutia asks (due to liability) that we refrain from swimming in the waterfall. Therefore, we’ll only paint it, not swim in it. Mahalo nui loa to Venutia for her generosity. Any questions call Leslie Sears cell: 310-245-6411.

JUNE EN PLEIN AIRE SCHEDULE
JUNE SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE
Sorry kids that this sched. wasn't posted eariler in the month-- I was touring Europe. I thought my iphone could substitute for a laptop, but it could not. When this month's schedule came out, I was in Austria with plenty WIFI connection. However when I logged on to my little Plein Air Blog, it was all written in German! A language I do not read or speak, but I pressed on, thinking I could figure my way through, just from familiarity.. but I was very wrong. The air messages were stern & persistent enough that I finally backed off, (step away from the itsy-tiny-iphone-sized-German-language-computer-air-messages). I just returned home last night 6/17, so here I sit, posting an ever so late June Schedule. However, I did have a fantastic time in the old country... just have a few glitches to work out with the touring/blogging thing.... And NOW.. ta da!
THE SCHEDULE- every Thursday, 8am or so, no fees, no rules-
3- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK– (formerly Leleiwi), we are here every first Thursday of each month. Tide pools, sea grass, shade trees, honu, endless sky & across the bay views.

Sorry kids that this sched. wasn't posted eariler in the month-- I was touring Europe. I thought my iphone could substitute for a laptop, but it could not. When this month's schedule came out, I was in Austria with plenty WIFI connection. However when I logged on to my little Plein Air Blog, it was all written in German! A language I do not read or speak, but I pressed on, thinking I could figure my way through, just from familiarity.. but I was very wrong. The air messages were stern & persistent enough that I finally backed off, (step away from the itsy-tiny-iphone-sized-German-language-computer-air-messages). I just returned home last night 6/17, so here I sit, posting an ever so late June Schedule. However, I did have a fantastic time in the old country... just have a few glitches to work out with the touring/blogging thing.... And NOW.. ta da!
THE SCHEDULE- every Thursday, 8am or so, no fees, no rules-
3- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK– (formerly Leleiwi), we are here every first Thursday of each month. Tide pools, sea grass, shade trees, honu, endless sky & across the bay views.

May Schedule/en plein aire
EN PLEIN AIRE
Aloha May artists! Happy cinco de Mayo! This time of year brings varying weather conditions here in Hawai'i, sometimes switching from one extreme to another rather quickly. I find it all very beautiful. I suppose you all know by now that I'm a big fan of our rain, ka ua. Yes yes, let it rain to fill the rivers, feed the plants, & softly rinse away all our dust & worries.. Blessings from the sky. In the middle of May, I jet into the wilds, joining up with local artists Peggy Stanton & Rod Cameron, et al, for a European Artist Escape...The journey begins with a week in Prague, Czech Republic & from there we are free to roam. By all accounts, CR is an impressive land of rolling countrysides, ancient villages, & abundant rivers crested with story book bridges. Another enormous attribute is the extraordinary amount of castles, which apparently don't harbor dragons anymore. I'll let you know. We will be painting all throughout, so I'll be posting paintings at some point. I'll try to take many pics of all the participants & their works, & You can contact me thru my email address: sunrise.shells@gmail.com anytime. A hui hou, aloha-- Amy.
6- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK (formerly Leleiwi)- The standing location every first Thursday. Plenty views & beautifully hued tide pools, waving sea grass, shade, & the occasional honu, Nene, whales or other wildlife. An informal midday critique could happen, bring current or not so current work for feedback. Kalaniana'ole Ave. in Keaukaha, just before Richardson's. 5 round pavilions in a row, life guard tower on the point. Plenty parking & lua.
13- ALA HEIAU – Favorite & easy, at the bottom of Maku'u, in Hawaiian Paradise Park. Take Maku'u makai to Ala Heiau Rd, turn right. Drive to the end & park (leave access for fishermen’s trucks). Unmatched vistas of Puna coast, tidepools, wind whipped trees, & rowdy surf from the safety of wonderfully shaded cliffs.
20- CARLSMITH BEACH PARK (aka 4 Mile) Keaukaha. A beautiful park location, palms, tide pools, life guard tower. Nice little cove. Kalainana’ole Rd. to Carlsmith Beach Park, across from the Seaside Restaurant & lagoon. Lua, parking.
27- WAI'PIO VALLEY – Always STUPENDOUS. Meet at the lookout early, & try to carpool if possible. If you get there & no one's about, we're probably already in the valley-usually by the river. Hamakua Hwy. north to Honoka’a, follow signs to Waipi'o. 4 Wheel drive required, or you can stay up top & paint the long view. Lua in valley, & public bathroom up top. Bring water.

March Schedule/en plein air
MARCH SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE/still every Thursday/8am (or so)/free
4- Wai'uli Beach Park, Hilo – (formerly Leleiwi). Our standing location every first Thursday- for its beauty & easy access. There's plenty different views from Wai'uli; tide pools with beautiful colors, sea grass, and the occasional turtle, Nene, whale. It's always a pleasurable experience to paint here. Informal midday critique, feel free bring work in progress or current work for gentle feedback. Take Kalaniana'ole Ave. through Keaukaha curving along the beach road 'til you come to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's. Plenty parking, 5 pavilions, lifeguard stand on the point. Restrooms.
11- Ala Heiau – An absolute favorite spot, sheltered cliff-side at the bottom of Maku'u Rd in Paradise Park. Follow Maku'u Rd to the very bottom, right on Ala Heiau Rd. Drive to the end & park (leave access for fishermen’s trucks). Fabulous vistas of coast, tidepools, wind whipped trees, & rowdy surf from the safety of wonderfully shaded cliffs. No Restrooms.
18- Kama'ili/Opihikao - From the Pahoa-Kalapana Hwy. turn left (makai) at Kama'ili Rd (Opihikao). Follow to the bottom (approx. 4 miles.) & turn left onto Red Road. Drive about 1/4 mile & you'll see a by-pass area (paintable) or immediately past that tree shaded sea cliffs. Loads of shade, and awesome ocean action. Great ocean cliffs, coconut, ironwood, kamani trees. The infamous red road curves by, accentuated by ancient massive mango trees, and wonderful wandering footpaths dappled with Renoir-like sunlight. What a place.
25- Akaka Falls- From Hilo, Hamakua Hwy to Honomu town, turn up, follow road.. turn left at the top of the road, drive through town, make a right (mauka) at the Akaka Falls signs, take that road approx. 4 miles up to the Akaka Falls park. The 400 ft falls may be sparse from lack of rain, but the road itself offers great, sweeping vistas of town, old cane land, ocean, endless sky. The park has quiet pathways, little streams, lush greenery, parking & restrooms.

In Remembrance~ Wayne Miyamoto
On February 20, 2010, artist Wayne Miyamoto suddenly passed away.The UH Hilo Professor of Art, and Dep't. Chair, will be deeply missed by not only UH Hilo, but also throughout the Hawai'i art community. As an acquisition committee contributor for The State Foundation on Culture & Arts, Wayne was instrumental in the annual purchase of art works by many Hawai'i island artists. Also a prolific artist himself, he worked across media, and in all forms of printmaking. His work was highly decorated & earned numerous prestigious awards world wide. In addition to his personal successes, Wayne remained true to the Hawai'i art community and encouraged the career paths of many developing artists. His contributions to the art world, through inspiration, talent, and sheer energy will live on for many generations to come. Me ke aloha pumehana, Wayne, a hui hou.

FEBURARY SCHEDULE
Hello Plein Air artists!
Plein Air Artists of Hawaii Island (that’s us, aka PAAOHI) meets informally each Thursday morning approx. 8am – noon, but come when you can, some artists stay all day. PAAOHI has no fees, structure, instruction or rules other than that to hang out with us you need to be creating art (and keep chatter away from the non-chatters. They’ll tell you who they are). It's a real treat when new artists join our group, or when artists we haven't seen for awhile reappear. So if you know anyone who'd like to participate, invite them show up any Thursday, pass their email on to me and I will send them our schedule, or direct them to view the schedule on our BLOG http://www.paaohi.blogspot.com/.
The "Other Musings" section at the lower part of this email is a bulletin-board style networking source; a forum for readers to learn about upcoming shows, workshops, island wide plein air groups, etc. I'll post art-related items submitted to me via email prior to the 25th of the month.

There are lots of different views from Wai'uli; tide pools with beautiful colors, sea grass, and the occasional turtle, Nene or whale. It is always a pleasure to paint here. We gather for an informal midday critique, so bring old or current work if you’d like feedback. On Kalaniana'ole Ave. in Keaukaha. Drive the beach road until you come to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's. There are 2 parking areas and sets of pavilions, we usually set up in pavilions near the lifeguard stand. But sometimes we set up at the first pavilions or in between, just to mix it up. Lots of parking and restrooms.
11- Cherry Blossoms in Waimea! We don’t normally venture this far a field, but then, cherry blossoms aren’t normally blooming in Hawaii. We’ll be there a few days after the festival, so let’s hope for a great display of color! Look for us on Church Road, across from the Waimea Civic Center. Taking the Mamalahoa Hwy from Honoka'a, Church Road is on the left before the intersection with Lindsey/Kawaihae. Dress warmly.
18- Carlsmith Beach Park, aka 4 Mile, Hilo. A beautiful park with lawns, swimming, big trees, magic ponds, and life guard tower. Take Kalainana’ole Rd. in Keaukaha to Carlsmith Beach Park, right across the street from the Seaside Restaurant & lagoon. Has bathrooms, parking.
25- Laupahoehoe Point. Dramatic, rugged cliffs and pounding surf. This incredibly beautiful place was also the setting of tragedy, the 1946 tsunami washed away a school and claimed 24 lives. A lovely park now sits near the school site, with grass, pavilions, restrooms and parking. It’s often windy and it’s ALWAYS gorgeous. From the Mamalahoa Hwy, turn makai on Laupahoehoe Point Road (just past the 27 mile marker). Enjoy the views on the way down to the ocean.

see attached photo is of a painting done by Rod in Prague. Margaret writes:
This is an early morning painting on the famous Charles Bridge in Prague, by Rod Cameron, and he offers this insight into the color temperature that he used.
"The magical light of Prague at this time had a cool predominate cast which brings the shadows to the warmer hues of the palate. Cool light equals warm shadows or warm light gives cool shadows is the general rule. The incredible buildings of the city create an interesting sky line across the horizon and I used the tall statue on the left which had a natural gaze into the scene and the focal points of the painting."
