ALOHA ARTISTS!
ALOHA NOVEMBER!
Well, I thought I was blocked out of this site! I couldn't access it for a few days, and I was stumped! I felt so bad about letting you guys down, that I started to build a new blog at another free blog site... but somehow, I was able to finally access this one. So we're good to go! If I have any future problems and decide to move the blog, Ms. Leslie Sears will let everyone know the new address via her monthly email. I will try to message the PAAOHI FOLLOWERS. But for now, we're here. November is a tricky month for plein air. The weather patterns are switching to the wet-season- trade-wind stuff. We can expect on and off rain, wind, and some really beautiful days too. The waves on the North and East sides pick up, and occasionally we get snow on the mountain tops. The yin and yang of Hawai'i wet season. The last Thursday of Nov, is the 28th, Thanksgiving Day. A paint site has not been scheduled, but if you have the time in the morning, it's a great way to spend some quiet time before feasting. We usually paint downtown at the bottom of Haili St. The streets are wonderfully empty of everyone, and no cars! You can easily do street scenes, and architectural studies. Leslie decided to not include a Thanksgiving Paint day, but if you're up for it, it's always a fun time. Paint while the bird roasts.
Eat Later. Paint now.
As an aside, Leslie let me know that I have (more than once!), led painters astray by writing the paint site wrongly. Ya know, close but no cigar. I am so sorry! I must not have been fully reading her directions, and making assumptions by just skimming..... or whatever, but I will do my best to make sure that doesn't happen again... I truely hope I did not mess up anyone's painting experience.... Any way, here's November's schedule---
NOVEMBER --every Thursday, from sunrise to sunset--
7-WAI'ULI- Hilo, Keaukaha. From Hilo, Kalaniana'ole Ave to the park just before Richardson's Beach Park. Great Pavilions out of the elements, wonderful views, facilities available.
14- ALA HEIAU- Puna, Paradise Park Subdivision- Take Maku'u Drive all the way to the very bottom, turn right. Drive to the end. Do not block the beach assess roads for the fisher-people. No facilities. Gorgeous, dramatic, and a favorite.
21-CARLSMITH BEACH PARK- Hilo, Keaukaha. From Hilo, take Kalanianaole Ave. to Carlsmith Beach Park. It is also known as "4 Mile". Large rolling lawn and great vistas... pools of water and lovely colors in the shallows. Facilities.
28-THANKSGIVING- Only if you want to--- Hilo.. Downtown, at the bottom of Haili St. No cars, no people, just little Hilo all quiet and waiting to be painted...... :) Happy Thanksgiving!
THANKS LESLIE!
