AUGUST SCHEDULE

Aloha Artists! Aloha August!
With these long "summer" days upon us, I am so happy that tradewind showers are still passing through. Those soft trade rains really mellow things out here on the windward side. Lucky we live Hawaii. The added benefit of these lovely long days, is extended painting hours..
I hope you can join the group & create a painting or two.....
