MARCH-
Aloha Artists, Aloha March! We experienced quite a few blustery and rainy paint days last month! It was hard to get into "the zone" as a hard rain blew and the occasional glance at the horizon provided little chance of blue. Last month's session at Diane's Gallery Toulouce was wonderful and fun. It was mostly clear and the whales welcomed us with their leaps and spouts. I painted a few papaya trees behind the gallery, a lovely garden of tropical plenty. The hanging jade vines were beginning to bloom, and I have it in my mind to return to try and get them on canvas too. This month's sessions are mostly scheduled to be at park pavilions, with one journey up to Saddle Road. Hopefully the flowers and hillsides will be a bloom.
