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.
