SEPTEMBER en PLEIN AIRE

Aloha September, Aloha Artists!

 September is often extra warm, and also- due to the hurricane action in the Pacific, sometimes
humid.  On the upside, schools are now back in session, and the beach parks are less busy.
As always, early mornings and late afternoons will always provide the best light, so there's that
to keep in mind.  Below is the painting schedule designed by Leslie Sears.
Have a wonderful month!

SEPTEMBER SCHEDULE- every Thursday, start when you can, & paint till can't hold your brush any longer-
4- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK-Keaukaha, Hilo. From Hilo take Kalaniana'ole Ave almost to 
Richardson's Beach Park. Wai'uli is just before it. Large parking area, 5 pavilions, bathrooms, 
running water. Lavish long views, beautiful ocean tide pools, wave action, across the bay views
of Mauna Kea, and the Hamakua Coastline.  Fresh water available, & bathrooms.
11-HAKALAU BEACH PARK- Hamakua- From Hilo- take the Hamakua Coast Hwy, just after Honomu turn off take the next turn off on the makai side, Old Mamalahoa Hwy. The road will wind around past an old postoffice/movie house, past a little neighborhood, and down the valley road. At the bottom you will have to drive through a small stream. Don't go through it if it's more than your car can handle. There's plenty of painting where you first are. However, most of the painters will probably be on the other side.  Great valley views, churning river, feisty waves crashing on the shore,  etc. No potable water, only port-a- lua.
18-THE ISLES- Hilo- Just Makai of Liliuokalani Park. From Suisan Bridge, Turn makai onto Lihiwai Rd,  drive past Suisan Fish Market, and Hilo Bay Cafe. When you cannot drive further, turn into the makai parking lot, behind Hilo Bay Cafe. Painters are usually on the left side of the parking area. Shady trees, Great views of Hilo Bay, & especially the canoe halau.
Port-a-lua, no available water.
25-4 MILE - Keauakaha, James Kealoha Beach Park, (before Carlsmith) We'll be sitting under a tree or two. Great views of Carlsmith, and Keaukaha coast & tidal pools.  Bring your own boom box.
All Pau.   Show up. Paint.  xo AM
