Aloha Artists, aloha September! Finally school is back in session, and so the beach parks are less populated & much quieter, which is always a good thing for a painting session. This month we'll be frequenting some of our favorite haunts. I often find returning to a spot a great opportunity to address unfinished paintings from previous sessions. I like the chance finish them on location, seems to be better than referencing a photograph. The weather has finally shifted to our sweaty humid hurricane season conditions that are so familiar during this time of year. Color me thankful that the trade-winds are still around the keep that magical little breeze ablow'n. What a gift!
