MAY/en plein aire-
Aloha May, Aloha Artists!
May is an unusually lovely time of year in Hilo. It begins with Lei Day (May 1st), while the energy of Merrie Monarch week still lingers fresh in our memories. The liveliness of Hula afficiano, halau members, Kumu, Kapuna, musicians, magnificent flowers & foliage, horses, and crafters create this special week of aloha. The normally mellow east side of Hawai'i is significantly charged for weeks afterward. Our group painted at Waipi'o in April, a few pics are included here. It was a gorgeous day, ending with a small kine pa'ina riverside.
