JUNE en PLEIN AIRE

JUNE-
Aloha June, Aloha Artists!   Painting en plein aire is a wonderful challenge, one of the most important aspects is that your studio is the great outdoors..... no matter what the sky is doing, the lighting is beautiful. The trades are back again, and with them is the rain.. it's always a give take when it comes to conditions...  Anyhow, on with the schedule. It is created by Leslie Sears, I post it to this site to assist the process. Hopefully some of you readers will be able to make it to the locations at least once or twice this June...   :)

SCHEDULE-   every Thursday, start anytime, end anytime- bring your own supplies... 
                                     sometimes you may need to bring water, and have restroom concerns well thought out..... 


5- WAI'ULI- once known as Leleiwi, it's in Keaukaha just before Richardson's Beach Park.  Covered pavilions, wonderful views, water, and bathrooms...
12-HAKALAU BEACH PARK- Hamakua, From Hilo- take hwy.19 to Hakalau, it's the first Makai road north of Honomu. Take Old Mamalahoa Hwy to the valley bottom. Water not for drinking, and Lua are not the flush kind.
19- LESLIE'S FARM.. "13 Mile Farm", Kurtistown.. From Hilo, take Volcano Hwy. turn Mauka (right) at Huina Road, just across from J.Hara Store in Kurtistown.  Approx. 1Mile up turn right on Momona St., you will see "Plant It Hawaii". Keep going until the road makes a T, turn left (mauka), next turn is on the First Driveway-it's long with a white house at the end. There will be a gathering after painting, so bring something to share if you can.... 
26-MACKENZIE STATE PARK- Puna, Red Road.  From Pahoa, take the Pahoa-Kapoho Road (hwy 132). The road will fork, -go straight (mostly) onto the Pahoa-Pohoiki Road. Just before you get to Pohoiki Beach Park you'll come to a stop sign, turn right onto Hwy 137 (Kapoho-Kalapana Road), aka "Red Road"(used to be paved with Red Cinder). Follow down until you see the sign for Mackenzie Beach Park on the makai side (approx. 2miles down).  Turn left there, look for the group, or just set up....... wonderful vistas.... 
pau.
