OCTOBER SCHEDULE/en Plein Aire
Aloha October, Aloha Artists!
October is here with a bit of rain,& the return of the lovely trades. Good to remember to weight your easels, & have some rain gear available. The intake for EHCC's Fall Show is Saturday Oct. 30th, 9am- noon, but maybe call first (9615711), EHCC can occasionally be fickle with their scheduling. This years fee's are a bit higher it seems, $20 per entry for members, $30 for non-members. It's wise to enter tho, members from the State Foundation on Culture & The Arts purchasing committee have been known to frequent this show (& buy works) in the past years. Wailoa Art Center is hosting the E Komo Mai show, intake is: 10/30, 10am-3, $10 adult fee, $5 children's fee. This will also be a nice community art exhibit. Meanwhile, En Plein Air Artists, here's what Leslie has aligned up for October...
OCTOBER SCHEDULE, en plein aire-- Every Thursday, 8am, no fees, no humbug
7- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK, Keaukaha (formerly Leleiwi)- Every first Thursday of each month begins here. Wai'uli never stops impressing us with it's easy charm & amazingly morphing views. Tide pools & grasses, shade trees, honu, sea creatures, amazing clouds, across the bay views, boats, surfers, reflections, it just doesn't quit. Bring "works in progress" for feedback by fellow artists, or use it as a time to finish up paintings from other sessions in perfect lighting. A great time to reconnect with the group & see what's cooking. Kalaniana'ole Ave, to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's, parking, 5 pavilions & a restroom.
14- ALA HEIAU, Ola'a Puna - Hawaiian Paradise Park. From the Kea'au Pahoa Hwy, turn makai at Maku'u, follow down to the end. At the bottom of Maku'u turn right onto Ala Heiau Rd. follow to the end, park along the road, leaving access for the fishermen's trucks to pull in. Fabulous vistas of coast, tidepools, wind whipped trees, & rowdy surf from the safety of wonderfully shaded cliffs. We love this place! NO facilities, no water.
21-HILO BAYFRONT CANOE LANDING- Hilo Bay Canoe Halau, at Bayfront Beach Park -
Easy access, plenty parking, & beautiful views of Hilo town, the bay, Mauna Kea, colorful canoes parked at the halau along the shoreline. From Kamehameha Avenue, enter the beach park parking lot, makai side between Manono & Pauahi. Portable lua, water available.
28- WAILOA RIVER, MAUKA SIDE– We've painted across the river from this purple building under the enormous banyan tree a few times when we were having Sunday morning sessions. The purple building lends an interesting pop, wild reflections, & the unlikely perspective of an old plantation era building. Views of the Wailoa river, & pond, park greenways. No facilities, but it’s near by Cruisin’ Coffee & Cafe 100, & both have bathrooms. From downtown Hilo, driving towards Puna on Kilauea Ave., just past Aupuni Street & Crusin Coffee, you'll see a parking area situated below the billowing banyan, & next to the landmark purple building.
Another area to park is just behind Home Street Bank.. large shady lawn & multiple views.

Pull into this lot, this is Kilauea Iki. Keep in mind that there'll be plenty tourists. Kilauea Iki is a stunning crater, with crater black smooth pahoehoe, venting plume, lushly verdant steep sides, & breath taking vantages. Best in the morning, come early!

AUGUST EN PLIEN AIR
Aloha artists, Aloha August!
The trade wind weather has been kind lately, brushing us ever so softly with just enough rain & gentle tropic breeze to soothe our senses & delight us with it's special magic. Hopefully these conditions will weave throughout August & September. I had the good fortune to attend the recent opening for the FRIDAY ART DAY GROUP at the PAHOA MUSEUM. It was simply wonderful! A fine tapestry of beautiful work by our friends & fellow artists! Please allow yourself the time to stop in & check it out. To hook up with the FRIDAY ART DAY GROUP check the "OTHER MUSINGS" section. Also of note are the ABSTRACT SHOW at the WAILOA ART CENTER & EHCC's group show with works by VIVIAN URSULA & FRIENDS.
You've probably noticed our blog has a new look. I wanted to recognize Mother Nature & her seasonal gift of these lovely long days, sunny conditions, gorgeous sunrises, & spectacular sunsets. Circumnavigate our island for painting sessions off your usual track, you'll surely be awestruck by Beautiful Hawaii. I always am. Me ke aloha, Amy
AUGUST SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE,
Every Thursday, 8am- whenever, no fees, no humbug, bring your own stuff-
5- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK, Keaukaha – (AKA Leleiwi). Every first Thursday. Plenty of beautiful views, tide pools, sea grass, Honu, Nene, etc. An informal midday critique, bring any recent work, or work in progress, all mediums. Kalaniana'ole Ave. to Wai'uli Beach Park, (before Richardson's) 5 pavilions in a row, orange life guard tower on the point. Parking & lua.
12- BEHIND BEN FRANKLIN, Hilo– At the backside of Ben Franklin parking lot, take the ramp to lower parking lot. Two old monkey pod trees lend shade & ambiance. Palm lined Hilo bay, historic Ponohawai St., an unexpected lotus pond, & a few mauka town views.
19- KUHIO KALANIANAOLE BEACH PARK, Keaukaha - Sail boats, beach cottages, reflecting tide pools, & occasionally a cruise liner slides by. Shady trees, parking, lua. Kalaniana’ole Ave., 1st left just past "The Ponds" restaurant, (formerly Harrington’s).
26- VENUTIA'S BAMBOO HALE, Peepeeko- Finally we return Venutia’s! Her beautiful bamboo home is in the gated community, just past the old sugar mill. It sits almost cliff-side. Fantastic views. From Hilo just between the 10 and 11 mile markers, turn makai at Sugar Mill Rd. (look for the large old mill cog), drive to gate. We need to enter as a group, not individually, so meet promptly at the gate at 8am, (we'll probably stand around for awhile & wait for stragglers, but don't bank on anything). If you're unable to make the 8am meeting time, call Leslie's cell in advance (prior to the 26th) to make arrangements. Views of rugged cliffs sheltered by ironwoods, & an ocean side pool w/ waterfall. Venutia asks (due to liability) that we refrain from swimming in the waterfall. Therefore, we’ll only paint it, not swim in it. Mahalo nui loa to Venutia for her generosity. Any questions call Leslie Sears cell: 310-245-6411.

Views of rugged cliffs sheltered by ironwoods, & an ocean side pool w/ waterfall. Venutia asks (due to liability) that we refrain from swimming in the waterfall. Therefore, we’ll only paint it, not swim in it. Mahalo nui loa to Venutia for her generosity. Any questions call Leslie Sears cell: 310-245-6411.

JULY SCHEDULE, en plein aire
Aloha July, Aloha Artists!! July's here with all kinds of happenings, First Friday events, & the action at Kalani Resort. July is a wonderful time of year, with it's warmth, & the occasional "unexpected" storms that dance through here. It makes for some good painting weather, so set aside some time for a session or two. Keep in mind that this blog is a spot to share your plein air related stuff. Send your pics or whatever it is, & I can post them.. me ke aloha, Amy
___________________________

Drive to the end & park (allow access for the fishermen’s trucks). Vistas of coast, tidepools, wind whipped trees, & rowdy surf from the safety of wonderfully shaded cliffs. A Crowd Favorite.
15- CARLSMITH BEACH PARK, aka 4 MILE - Keaukaha.. NOT really 4 miles from anything in particular, but it's real pretty there.. Large sweeping trees, rolling lawns, enclosed bay.

JUNE EN PLEIN AIRE SCHEDULE
JUNE SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE
Sorry kids that this sched. wasn't posted eariler in the month-- I was touring Europe. I thought my iphone could substitute for a laptop, but it could not. When this month's schedule came out, I was in Austria with plenty WIFI connection. However when I logged on to my little Plein Air Blog, it was all written in German! A language I do not read or speak, but I pressed on, thinking I could figure my way through, just from familiarity.. but I was very wrong. The air messages were stern & persistent enough that I finally backed off, (step away from the itsy-tiny-iphone-sized-German-language-computer-air-messages). I just returned home last night 6/17, so here I sit, posting an ever so late June Schedule. However, I did have a fantastic time in the old country... just have a few glitches to work out with the touring/blogging thing.... And NOW.. ta da!
THE SCHEDULE- every Thursday, 8am or so, no fees, no rules-
3- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK– (formerly Leleiwi), we are here every first Thursday of each month. Tide pools, sea grass, shade trees, honu, endless sky & across the bay views. An informal non-mandatory midday critique (work in progress or current work). Kalaniana'ole Ave., just before Richardson's in Keaukaha-5 pavilions in a row, life guard tower, restrooms, parking.
10- KOLEKOLE BEACH PARK- Hamakua coast, turn off from the Hwy just North of Honomu Town exit. We'll be at the beach park. River meets ocean, small waterfall, bridge trestle, beach, lawns, coconut trees, rugged coast view (bring mosquito repellent). Covered pavilion & lua
17- BAYFRONT CANOE LANDING-Hilo Bay at canoe HALAU. Easy access, lots of parking, and bay views of Hilo, the shoreline, Mauna Kea, splashes of color from the canoes. Kamehameha Ave., enter beach park parking lot across from the old Iron Works bldg. Look for group.
24- 17 MILE MARKER KAMA'ILI - located on Red Road at Kama'ili.. A favorite spot, fondly called Arthur's Office. From Pahoa by-pass head past Pahoa High school towards Kalapana, follow the road when it curves down to Kaimu (makai). Turn left at the junction, follow coast road down towards Kapoho, pass Kalani Resort to 17 Mile marker. A little by-pass created to move the road away from the eroding cliff. A sweet slice of classic Hawaii.
