ALOHA AUGUST, ALOHA ARTISTS!
Here it is August already (& the rain is still falling!).. aw well--it is hurricane season, so I do keep in mind that a little rain is much better than a hurricane! Well, Im not quite sure of the schedule yet, but as soon as it's sent to me I'll publish it. I do know that this Thursday we'll be at good ol' Wai'uli Beach park.... be there or be square.. It'll be beautiful and we are fortunate to have those great sturdy pavilions to shelter us in these quickly changing weather patterns.... just another something to consider when you paint outside. Anyhow, show up this Thursday for our usual monthly kickoff and enjoy the beauty of squalls pushing across the sky, and the mystery of the windward side's illusive sunshine blessing us with warmth as we watch in rain in town.......
AUGUST SCHEDULE- meet time is 8am, but show up when you can, we usually are there for most of the day-- no rules, except to respect the other painters space...

JULY en PLEIN AIRE SCHEDULE
ALOHA ARTISTS, ALOHA JULY! This is the month of celebrating independence and the welcoming of Hurricane season. While many call this time of year "summer", it can be very wet and not at all very summery. Here in Hawai'i is still the wet season, things will start to dry out around August/September, so we should make note of this weather as outside painters. Keep your raingear handy, we still have some precipitation ahead. Paintings will be full of tonal ambiance to encompass all the lovely moments of the frisky sky action. This month we have mostly Hilo locations, and right at the month's end we hit Ala Heiau, at the shoreline in Paradise Park Puna. Back in the day, Hawaiian Paradise Park was part of the enormous Shipman Ranch which extended from about Fern Forest subdivision in Upper Puna, to the shores of Mid Puna, bordering Hawaiian Homelands at Maku'u. At some point in the early 1960's this large swatch of land was subdivided and sold as 1-3 acres lots.
SCHEDULE- 8am start, come prepared. I always advise to bring your own water.
5- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK/Leleiwi, Keaukaha, Hilo- Located just before Richardson's Beach Park, it is distinguished by the 5 oceanside Pavilions, large parking areas, and beautiful views. Water and bathrooms available.
12-KUHIO KALANIANA'OLE BEACH PARK, Keaukaha, Hilo- Kalaniana'ole Ave to the first park just past The Ponds Restaurant. Pretty ocean views across Reeds Bay of private boats, and ancient old palms. Water, and lua.
19-LILIUOKALANI PARK/Hilo, This beautiful Japanese style park, with wandering paths, well-kept ponds, gorgeous ocean views is postcard perfect. The land was donated by Queen Liliuokalani with the agreement that it would become a Japanese Style park. Her legacy lives on. Large green-ways, Tori Gates, red pavilions, a curved Moon Bridge, and lots of smaller bridges are placed along glistening ponds shaded by great old trees punctuated by moss covered pagodas. An artists feast for sure.
26-ALA HEIAU, Puna, Paradise Park- Take Maku'u all the way to the ocean (approx 4 miles), turn right at the bottom, Ala Heiau Road. Drive to the end, taking care to not block the fisherman access,
a small little opening loosely defined as a 'road'. One of favorite spots due to the spectacular views and wonderful ocean breezes. Don't miss this spot.
