FEBRUARY EN PLEIN AIRE SCHEDULE

FEBRUARY SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE

3 - WAI'ULI BEACH PARK, Hilo – (formerly Leleiwi). Our standing location for first Thursdays for its beauty and easy access. There are lots of different views from Wai'uli; tide pools with beautiful colors, sea grass, and sometimes turtles, Nenes AND WHALES! It is always a pleasure to paint here. On Kalaniana'ole Ave. in Keaukaha. Drive the beach road until you come to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's. There are 2 parking areas and sets of pavilions, we usually set up in pavilions near the lifeguard stand. But sometimes we set up at the first pavilions or in between, just to mix it up. Lots of parking and restrooms.

10- Cherry Blossoms in WAIMEA We don’t normally venture this far a field, but then, cherry blossoms aren’t normally blooming in Hawaii. We’ll be there a few days after the festival, so let’s hope for a great display of color! Look for us on Church Road, across from the Waimea Civic Center. Taking the Mamalahoa Hwy from Honoka'a, Church Road is on the right before the intersection with Lindsey/Kawaihae. Dress warmly.

17 BABY BEACH/BROWN'S – A Hilo beach park that’s off the beaten path... Head down Kalaniana'ole Ave turn left on Onekahakaha Rd. Make a quick left onto Apapane Rd, then right on Lihikai Rd. At the end of the road park and walk down to a lovely, protected beach with swimming, trees, lava framed pools and Mauna Kea across the bay. A lovely new spot for us! No facilities – walk to Onekahakaha for restrooms.

24- PEPE'EKEO HOMESTEAD- Private property with sweeping views to the ocean over vibrantly green undulating pastures, with stream, massive mango trees, bamboo, banana trees, and a red barn roof in below property for spot of color. Hosts Cary & Susan are admirers of artists, & thought it'd be charming to host us for a day. Bring your own water. From Hilo: Hamakua Hwy to Pepe'ekeo, turn makai (right) at Sugar Mill Road (where the old giant Cog sits). Drive down just a short distance. At the first intersection bear left, but don’t proceed, because the entry gate is on your immediate left too! The gate will be open for the day, drive thru and take the long shady winding road down, it curves right, look for the new steel barn-- it has an accordion-looking roof. This is the place. Please don't block the drive or run over the little solar lights they have along the driveway. Stay within the property. Call Amy if you're turned around -- 989-6906.
