NOVEMBER/en Plein Aire

Aloha Artists! Aloha November!
There's a great schedule planned for Nov., & that includes the annual Thanksgiving Thursday Painting Session at downtown Hilo. Usually we paint somewhere close to the bottom of Haili St., situating ourselves along in the parking lot or something. Last year we painted on the sidewalks along front street. However this year we are stationing ourselves in front of One Gallery. The periwinkle exterior is screaming to be on canvas.. besides it's a very hip co-op artists gallery (if I do say so myself).. Downtown Hilo is really cool on Thanksgiving Day. Hilo's streets are relatively devoid of cars, and discerning artist's will enjoy scoping the streets, the buildings, sidewalks, shadows, trees and all with out all the distractions of everyday. Not your usual experience for sure. Come by for a bit & check it out, paint! Also up this November is the PAPOH annual paint out, which is being held on the other side of the island, Kona & Waikoloa. In anticipation of this event, Leslie has scheduled one of our sessions at Anaeho'omalu Bay (aka "A BAY") Waikoloa. The PAPOH painters will be there in full force, if you've never attended one of these events in the past years, you should make an effort to spin over at least for this Thursday session. It only takes 1 1/2 hr. to get there, not really THAT bad...... grab a friend & have a fun time.... c u there!
