ALOHA APRIL , ALOHA ARTISTS! We welcome April with ideas of fresh spring days and fragrant blooms. We've learned that April showers bring May flowers....but I'm wishing for typical trade wind weather.. you know, rain at night, crystal blue days, spectacular sunsets and spunky ocean action. I think the flowers will bloom just fine with the trades doing their thing. So far I've been seeing a whole lotta vog, which is a by product of Kona Winds. I don't dig it so much. Every month the schedule is conceived by Leslie Sears. I publish it here on the blog. Leslie has also set up a Plein Air Artist Exhibition in January 2014. Email her with your questions or for entry info.
