Lovely sweet March has 5 Thursdays, & 5 great locations. We meet every Thursday morning, sometimes painters arrive as early as sunrise, sometimes not until mid or later day, it depends on weather, & whim. Often times a typical plein air day stretches into the lavender hour, with artists at easel as the last bit of light shimmers into the horizon. Never feel bad about not getting out as early as you intended. Plein Air Thursdays are thoroughly savored for every last bit of light.. Please Note: The last location has been swapped out, Waipio for Laupahoehoe. We will pick up the Waipio session at another date..
3) WAI'ULI BEACH PARK, Keaukaha- Kalaniana'ole Ave. to Wai'uli Beach Park, located just before Richardson's Beach Park, makai side, 5 pavilions in a row, parking, lua, fresh water. Amazing views, and impressive shoreline have kept us returning monthly for 4 years now.
10) SADDLE ROAD, Girl Scout Camp/43.5 mm- From Hilo, Saddle Rd. to 43.5 mile marker, G.S. Camp is on the left, marked by a small grove of trees, meet in the parking area. No lua, no water, & cool weather conditions, expect strong winds. We usually move locations once up there, so it's best to meet with the group at the set location & time. We'll be moving towards Waiki'i Ranch, where verdant green hills bursting with gorgeous sunny yellow daisys are backed by startling cerulean blue skies, it's amazing. Spotty cell service.
17)KUHIO BAY/'RADIO BAY', Keaukaha, Hilo- Where the Hilo Bay breakwater begins. Sweet little boats, the Coast Guard Cutter Kiska, & sometimes the Hokulea dock here. Kalaniana'ole Ave. to the Shoreline Access (makai side), (the first left after the Hilo Harbor entrance). An easily traveled but unpaved road. We're usually tucked along the shore.
24)ALA HEIAU- Hawaiian Paradise Park, Maku'u Point, Puna- Maku'u Rd. to the bottom, right turn onto Ala Heiau Rd, drive to the end/parking area. Vistas to thrill, and since it's whale season, it will surely be a wonderful day. Great sunrise. No facilities, no fresh water.
31) LAUPAHOEHOE BEACH PARK, "The Point"/ (sorry! Waipio Valley is off for now)- From Hilo, Hamakua Hwy to the 27 mile marker, just past the 2nd gulch. On the makai side, take the Lapahoehoe Point turn off. Follow down to the Beach Park, we'll be dotted along the shorelines, perched on windy cliffs or nested under a tree. Facilities available.
