OCTOBER en Plein Aire

Aloha Artists, Aloha October!
I deeply apologize for posting so late! I've been down for the count! A bug took hold of me & would not let go, it infiltrated my lungs, & all of my breathing stuffs, it's been rough, but I'm fighting my way back to normalcy (whatever that is). Things are looking up.
It is good to breathe again, a luxury for sure. Great gratitude for the ability to breathe in the fabulous trades, yes! October is a special month, things are cooling down some, but we still have wonderful afternoons of butter warm sunshine....so so lucky. It is also a good time for travel, but here in the islands it's a gift everyday. Next month, mid November will bring artists from all over Hawaii Nei together in Kona for the fabulous PAPOH annual paint out. This will be a great opportunity to not only meet artists from all of the islands, but to make some real connections with the Kona and Kohala artists. Please go to www.papoh.com to find out more.. or just scroll down & read more tips in the OTHER MUSINGS section....
Boldanyhow, paint on, paint on........ with aloha, Amy
