JULY-
Aloha Artists, Aloha July!
Things are heating up-- July is upon us. There's some great things happening in Hilo in July. First Friday is really gearing up, and that entire weekend is looking fun. Summer celebrations are always the best, -- long, languid and positive. To enhance our painting experience, lavender hours are extended too! Paint on!
PAAOHI meets every Thursday, artists show up in the morning, and others appear in the afternoon. Some artists stay all day-- so if that's you, bring your lunch and make it a day.
JULY SCHEDULE- every Thursday, all day-- bring your own stuff, and paint quietly :)
4-WAI'ULI BEACH PARK- Hilo, Keaukaha. From Hilo, Kalaniana'ole Ave to the park just before Richardson's Beach. Large parking areas, 5 Pavilions in a row. Tidal Pools and Mauna Kea views.
Facilities available.
11-ALA HEI'AU-Puna, Hawaiian Paradise Park- From the Keau'u-Pahoa Hwy, turn onto Maku'u Drive and follow it to the bottom- Turn right onto Ala Heiau Road. Follow this road a short distance to the end, please park with aloha, small entries allow fishermen in. Fantastic Views, beautiful reefs, crashing surf, amazing clouds. No facilites.
18- KEOKEA POINT aka "BABY BEACH"- Keaukaha, Hilo. From Kalaniana'ole Road, turn onto Onekahakaha Rd, then make the first left turn onto Apapapane Road. You will then turn right onto Lihikai Road. Follow to the end, go inside the gates. Small beach, nice action. Some shady spots and some long views. No facilities.
25-HAKALAU VALLEY BEACH PARK- Hakalau, Hamakua. From Hilo take the Hamakua Hwy north. Just past Honomu on the makai side, you'll see Old Mamalahoa Hwy, turn Makai, or toward the sea. Take that road along and follow it down into the valley. At the bottom you'll have a choice to drive across a small stream (to get to the park), or you can just drive straight and paint from the riverside without crossing. Up to you. Most of the painters are on side that you'd have to cross over the river to get to. Both sides have great views. Pounding surf or quiet waves, up valley views, and some mellow river action. Amazing road trestles. Facilities available, but only lua for the potty....better than nothing :)
au Pau.

JUNE en Plein AIre
Aloha Artists, aloha June!
June is a interesting month when you consider the weather. It's the beginning of hurricane season, and is considered "summer" by many. June can present some long lovely days-- and, on the other hand, can pack some serious storm action. So it's a mixed bag. The beginning of each month is started at Wai'uli Beach Park in Keaukaha. Start time is 8am, at every site, every Thursday, artists come and go all day. If you show up to a site, and no one is there, set up and get started-- be the leader. Most likely you won't be solo for long. If you are uncomfortable setting up by yourself, you can otherwise amuse your self by swimming, walking around checking out the location-- or you can sit in your car. I usually walk around check out the spot, see where I wanna paint, set up. Sometimes I'll go for a swim or clean my palette. Everytime is different. It's good to have a few phone numbers of the other painters. I call around see when the others are planning on showing up.
JUNE/SCHEDULE- every thursday sunrise to sunset and somewhere in between
6- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK- Hilo. Just before Richardson's, makai side. Great views, nice shade- swimming, honu and facilities.
13- ALA HEIAU- Puna, Last month's session at this locale was a rain out, so we're trying it again. It is a big favorite of the group's.. In Hawaiian Paradise Park, Puna. Drive to the end of Maku'u Road. Turn right, follow Ala Heiau rd to the end, and park. Do not block the dirt road entrance, the fishermen use that shoreline access. It is well worth the drive and is always a wonderful day.
20-WAIPIO VALLEY- Hamakua Coast line, Kukuihaeli- Artists are meeting at the top at 10am if you wanna catch a ride.. otherwise you're hoofing it 1 mile straight down.. & a little bit further to the beach area. A wonderful hike..
27-WAIAKEA FISHING AREA- Hilo. Kilauea St. Just behind the old purple building & behind Cruising coffee... a view of Wailoa Pond.. & some other stuff..
