Aloha March, aloha artists! As I sit writing this, a hard rain is falling from a sky of solid grey. I can barely see across Hilo Bay. We've certainly gotten a lion's share of precipitation since January. This is wonderful for the aina, but not so wonderful for artists. We're hoping for a slice of sunshine at least on Thursday. As for our regular Thursday painting sessions, feel free to show up when it works best for you. When you get to the location, remember that artists must be self starters, so set-up where you have a great vantage and get into it. Amazingly artists will magically appear, - like mushrooms. 8am is the start time, but often times no one shows up til 10 or so. The start time depends on location, weather, and other random and undetermined variables.
MARCH SCHEDULE- every Thursday.
3/1- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK- KEAUKAHA, HILO- Kalaniana'ole Ave to just before Richardson's beach park. Makai side, lg. parking area, pavilions, facilities avail. Wonderful views.

Kipuka Ainahou is a pull out just off of Saddle Rd., just before Mauna Kea/Mauna Loa access roads. No facilities, but can go to Mauna Kea State Park. Interesting trees, rock formations, ancient walls, and those breathtaking mountains. Bring warm clothes, water, and supplies.

2012!JANUARY..en plein aire
E komo mai, January! Aloha Artists! Well, I was hoping that since we aren't experiencing "el nino" or "la nina" weather patterns, we'd somehow be vog free this January, but my hopes are officially dashed. High pressure weather systems that bear down just north of Kauai and create the unfortunate Kona (or south) Winds are in motion. This means Vog for much of the islands, especially Hilo being up close & personal to Madame Pele. Anyhow, we'll make do as they say. We've some great locations lined up, & we'll see how it goes. It's always a fantastic thing to be in the field & painting with fellow artists. Perhaps to make up for the junk weather we'll see some frolicking whales......!
SCHEDULE-
ALOHA JANUARY!!!!
JANUARY SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE
5- WAI'ULI- Wai'uli Beach Park, Keaukaha, Hilo, (aka.Leleiwi). O On Kalaniana'ole Ave. in Keaukaha. Kalaniana'ole Ave. to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's. Parking, pavilions, bathrooms, & water.
12-ISSAC HALE BEACH PARK / Pohoiki, PUNA – We got rained out here last month, so here’s a retry. A couple of us painted in spite of the rain, and it’s a truly magnificent spot. Between Kapoho and Kalapana, this recently developed beach park as pavilions, great luas, a huge parking area, and best yet – GORGEOUS views from multiple vantage points. All the amenities make it a little crowded in summer, but at this time of year it’s perfect for painting. And maybe we’ll see whales! Head for Pahoa, then take 132 toward Kapoho. Just past the Lava Tree park, the road forks, take the right fork, which is the Pahoa-Pohoiki Rd. Enjoy the beautiful mango tree tunnel (and watch for speeding surfers).
19- HAKALAU VALLEY – Loads of river, ocean, & valley views... spectacular! Nice lawn, picnic tables, parking, easy set up. From Hilo, take Hwy. 19 to Hakalau (immediately past Honomu) turn makai on the old Mamalahoa Hwy. Follow the road down the hill to the valley (approx. 1mile). The Road splits at the valley floor. One choice is the north side of the river, the other choice is the Hilo side. To get to the Hilo side of the river you use the small bridge that the River is flowing over... it's not that scary, the water is usually only a few inches deep. Never cross if the water looks angry or heavy... But then you know that :) No drinking water, bring your own. Porta Luas.
26- BABY BEACH-, Keaukaha, – A Hilo beach park that’s off the beaten path... Head down Kalaniana'ole Ave turn left on Onekahakaha Rd. Make a quick left onto Apapane Rd, then right on Lihikai Rd. At the end of the road, park and walk down to a lovely, protected beach with swimming, trees, lava framed pools and Mauna Kea across the bay. A lovely new spot for us! No facilities – walk to Onekahakaha for restrooms.

DECEMBER en Plein Air
ALOHA DECEMBER, ALOHA ARTISTS! and a ho ho ho to you (insert bearded smiley face here).....well, here we are- the last month of the year, and teetering on the cusp of a new year- So Very Cool. Every day is paint day, but the purpose of this schedule is a planned group session for each Thursday of each month. We've been going strong for 4 years now! I, personally, have learned a real lot. This is Whale Season, a time of year that we can bear witness to a bit of their annual visit. As you stand before your easels take a moment to reflect upon the ever-present sea, and it's denizens. You could see a whale spouting, breaching or being simply joyful in the not too far distance. No matter how many times I've see them, it is always exciting & awesome.
DECEMBER SCHEDULE/en Plein Aire-
1-WAI'ULI/Keaukaha- Kalaniana'ole Ave- almost to Richardson's beach, makai side. Gorgeous! loads of views, lots of locations.. don't be locked to the pavilions, check out the entire area.
8-POHOIKI/Lower Puna/Issac Hale Beach Park/-from Pahoa, take the Pahoa/Pohoiki
"Mango Road", to Pohoiki Boat Ramp, we'll be stashed in the bushes along the shore to the left towards Kapoho... fabulous everything. Facilities available.
15-PEPE'EKEO/Low Store/Scenic Route- a little store at the Hamakua side of the Scenic Route,lots of parking, sweeping views, no facilities.
23-WAI'AKEA FISHING AREA/Kilauea Ave, Hilo/ behind the "Just Cruisin" shop, or drop into the lower parking area by the purple building. River views, park green ways, ducks & whatnot. No Facilities, but can use the coffee shop.
29-ALA HEIAU/HPP/Puna- Maku'u Drive- about 4 miles to the bottom, turn right at Ala Heiau Rd. & follow along to the end. Park w/ aloha. A breathtakingly gorgeous spot. No facilities.

SEPTEMBER/ en Plein Aire
Aloha Artists, aloha September! Finally school is back in session, and so the beach parks are less populated & much quieter, which is always a good thing for a painting session. This month we'll be frequenting some of our favorite haunts. I often find returning to a spot a great opportunity to address unfinished paintings from previous sessions. I like the chance finish them on location, seems to be better than referencing a photograph. The weather has finally shifted to our sweaty humid hurricane season conditions that are so familiar during this time of year. Color me thankful that the trade-winds are still around the keep that magical little breeze ablow'n. What a gift!

access to cliff-side fishing. Gorgeous! NO facilities
22-HILO BAY/CANOE LANDING-Hilo BayFront, From Kamehameha Hwy, enter through the parking area between Pauahi St & Manono St, makai side. We'll be located under the coconut trees. Facilities avail.

JULY/en plein aire
ALOHA JULY, ALOHA ARTISTS!
Many folks expect less rain in July, however, tradition is trade-wind weather for July, and trades do not always translate to hot languid days. Expect morning & evening showers, sunny days & shifting weather patterns. I truly love trade-wind weather, the night rains, the out standing clouds, the winds, & the bonus of no vog! Leslie has scheduled some fine locations this month- off our familiar track of seaside parks. It's refreshing to steal away from the beach-loving-summer-break crowds, and enjoy some quiet reflective "brush in hand" moments up country. I am hoping to see you at one of these Thursday events..
JULY SCHEDULE-
7)WAI'ULI BEACH PARK- Keaukaha. From Hilo, Kalaniana'ole Ave to Wai'uli Beach park (just before Richardson's). 5 round pavilions in a row, lg. parking lot, facilities, & fresh water. Fantastic views, endless sky, waves, sea creatures, surfers, tide pools of magical colors, and little beach cottages line the roadway.
14)SADDLE ROAD-Pu'u Huluhulu, from Hilo, just past the 26mm, just prior to the Mauna Loa Access Rd., a left turn (towards M. Loa), up the little road there's a few turn off scenic spots where it's conducive to artists pulling over for a little painting session. Cell phones mostly work, so you can call L.Sears for a navigational tip if you need- (310)245.6411/ keep in mind that S. Rd. can be chilly & windy, so bring along stuff to keep you warm & to anchor your easel.
21)MOKU OLA (COCONUT ISLAND)-Hilo, a small island makai of Hilo Hawaiian Hotel & right next to Liliuokalani Park. Spectacular views from the parking lot, & also from the island itself. Foot bridge to island is paved if you bring a rolling thingy for your supplies, restrooms & fresh water avail.
28)LAUPAHOEHOE POINT- Lauapahoehoe, Hamakua district- From Hilo, Hamakua Hwy (19) to the 2nd gulch, follow makai signs down to Laupahoehoe point. As the road curves it's way downhill, you'll want to pull over & paint already, but it's a steep & narrow road, so keep your shirt on, the Beach Park at the bottom is well worth the patience. Breath taking dramatic coast line both ways, interesting shore line lava features, & up valley views. Laupahoehoe is everything that your familiar with, & like nothing you've ever seen before. Water & facilities avail.

JUNE/EN PLEIN AIRE
Aloha Artists, Aloha June!
Well, the days
are longer, & school is out, but I want to avoid using the term "summer". Here in the Mid-Pacific we instead have what's known as Wet Season & Dry Season..Right now it is still Wet Season.
Longer days grant us extended painting days, a great opportunity
for all kinds of situations.
As a group we'll try and avoid the crowded beaches & tuck into roads less traveled. A shout out to Leslie for creating our location schedule! This month I Included some pix of our day in Onomea, at Gallery Toulouce. The horse is a NEIGHbor.. :)
JUNE SCHEDULE-no fees, we generally do an all day session, but show up when it works for you, & be a self starter.
2- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK-(AKA LELEIWI) KEAUKAHA, Kalaniana'ole Rd. to WAI'ULI.
Just before Richardson's, 5 pavilions in a row,
parking, lua, fresh water, facilities. Amazing views, impressive shoreline has kept us returning monthly for 4 years now.
9-SUISAN OLD PEOPLES PARK/Hilo- Directly behind Suisan Fish Market, large old monkeypod tree. Views of Hilo Bay, the "Isles", the small boat harbor, quiet and sweet. No facilities.
16-KAMA'ILI- Red Road/lower Puna-From the Pahoa-Kalapana hwy., drop down to the coast on Kama'ili Road (Opihikao), & follow to the bottom. The bottom coast road is fondly called "The Red Road" because it used to be made of crushed red cinder. Turn left towards Kapoho, 1/4 mile down, makai side, is a turn off. We paint just beyond, where the trees are thick & the cliff sides are generous. Look for the painters along the shoreline. No Facilities. We're planning to hang out at Michael's afterward, at his newly completed hut. Bring a pot luck dish.
22-REED'S BAY-Hilo,Banyan Drive- At the Keaukaha side, views of little boats moored, ocean cottages, fisher-people. No facilities, no water.
30-LEHIA/King's Landing/Pu'umaile-Keaukaha-Another ocean side location, & less tame than the others. Kalaniana'ole Rd. to the very end, pass through the yellow gates,
(for sure open), heading towards the end, always remain on the road that is closest to the sea. Artist's will be tucked into the trees, or maybe along one of the pathways that lead away from the parking areas. Sometimes guys show up & blast their boom boxes, chattering & laughing on & on, if this is the case, I'll for sure be up one of the ocean side pathways, away from the torment.

MAY/en plein aire-
Aloha May, Aloha Artists!
May is an unusually lovely time of year in Hilo. It begins with Lei Day (May 1st), while the energy of Merrie Monarch week still lingers fresh in our memories. The liveliness of Hula afficiano, halau members, Kumu, Kapuna, musicians, magnificent flowers & foliage, horses, and crafters create this special week of aloha. The normally mellow east side of Hawai'i is significantly charged for weeks afterward. Our group painted at Waipi'o in April, a few pics are included here. It was a gorgeous day, ending with a small kine pa'ina riverside.

FEBRUARY EN PLEIN AIRE SCHEDULE
FEBRUARY SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE
3 - WAI'ULI BEACH PARK, Hilo – (formerly Leleiwi). Our standing location for first Thursdays for its beauty and easy access. There are lots of different views from Wai'uli; tide pools with beautiful colors, sea grass, and sometimes turtles, Nenes AND WHALES! It is always a pleasure to paint here. On Kalaniana'ole Ave. in Keaukaha. Drive the beach road until you come to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's. There are 2 parking areas and sets of pavilions, we usually set up in pavilions near the lifeguard stand. But sometimes we set up at the first pavilions or in between, just to mix it up. Lots of parking and restrooms.
10- Cherry Blossoms in WAIMEA We don’t normally venture this far a field, but then, cherry blossoms aren’t normally blooming in Hawaii. We’ll be there a few days after the festival, so let’s hope for a great display of color! Look for us on Church Road, across from the Waimea Civic Center. Taking the Mamalahoa Hwy from Honoka'a, Church Road is on the right before the intersection with Lindsey/Kawaihae. Dress warmly.
17 BABY BEACH/BROWN'S – A Hilo beach park that’s off the beaten path... Head down Kalaniana'ole Ave turn left on Onekahakaha Rd. Make a quick left onto Apapane Rd, then right on Lihikai Rd. At the end of the road park and walk down to a lovely, protected beach with swimming, trees, lava framed pools and Mauna Kea across the bay. A lovely new spot for us! No facilities – walk to Onekahakaha for restrooms.
24- PEPE'EKEO HOMESTEAD- Private property with sweeping views to the ocean over vibrantly green undulating pastures, with stream, massive mango trees, bamboo, banana trees, and a red barn roof in below property for spot of color. Hosts Cary & Susan are admirers of artists, & thought it'd be charming to host us for a day. Bring your own water. From Hilo: Hamakua Hwy to Pepe'ekeo, turn makai (right) at Sugar Mill Road (where the old giant Cog sits). Drive down just a short distance. At the first intersection bear left, but don’t proceed, because the entry gate is on your immediate left too! The gate will be open for the day, drive thru and take the long shady winding road down, it curves right, look for the new steel barn-- it has an accordion-looking roof. This is the place. Please don't block the drive or run over the little solar lights they have along the driveway. Stay within the property. Call Amy if you're turned around -- 989-6906.

Hosts Cary & Susan are admirers of artists, & thought it'd be charming to host us for a day. Bring your own water. From Hilo: Hamakua Hwy to Pepe'ekeo, turn makai (right) at Sugar Mill Road (where the old giant Cog sits). Drive down just a short distance. At the first intersection bear left, but don’t proceed, because the entry gate is on your immediate left too! The gate will be open for the day, drive thru and take the long shady winding road down, it curves right, look for the new steel barn-- it has an accordion-looking roof. This is the place. Please don't block the drive or run over the little solar lights they have along the driveway. Stay within the property. Call Amy if you're turned around -- 989-6906.

DECEMBER SCHEDULE EN PLEIN AIR
Aloha December, aloha artists..what a gorgeous month, all the rain, & cheer, it's really a fun time. Check out PAPOH at www.papoh.com.. until December 1st you can get a great rate on membership. It's a wonderful local organization, & really helps you to get hooked up. PAPOH has numerous events throughout the year, & PAPOH prez, Jan Bushart, keeps us informed of shows, contests, & paint outs. I highly recommend becoming a member! Intake for 4th Annual PAPOH Juried Show is Jan. 31st. Check for more info at the "OTHER MUSINGS" section below.
DECEMBER SCHEDULE, EN PLEIN AIRE
2-WAI'ULI BEACH PARK,(AKA Leleiwi) Keaukaha- Wai'uli is our location for every first Thursday of each month, simply because it has never ceased to impress with it's easy charm & amazing views. With brilliant tide pools lapping at soft grass under shade trees,across-the-bay-views, boats, surfers, outrageous ocean, magnificent reflections, & endless sky, Wai'uli really has it all. Paint something new, bring "works in progress" for feedback, or finish up work from other sessions, it's a great time to connect with artists. Kalaniana'ole Ave, to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's Beach Park, plenty parking, pavilions, water & a real restroom.
9- KAMAE'E FALLS, U'mau'ma - Virginia Alderson and U’MAU'MA WORLD BOTANICAL GARDENS have generously granted us permission to utilize their grounds for this session. Located on private property with a gorgeous waterfall & expansive rolling hills (usually only available to patrons of the gardens). The location is a flat, exposed plateau, so bring your own shade source. The Botanical Gardens will allow us restroom usage. From Hilo: North up Hamakua Hwy. to mile marker 16, turn left there, follow signs to U’mau’ma Gardens. At the entrance to the gardens, turn mauka (away from the gardens)--follow the road uphill for approx. 1 mile. You will notice signs for Kamae’e Falls. Turn left, follow the "good" dirt road to the waterfall overlook. Bring your own water.
16- RAINBOW FALLS, Hilo – If it's raining, the falls will be pumpin, but no matters, it's always pretty here. The infamous rainbow is usually a morning thing.. gotta have the sunlight hit the falls just so. The major draw back to this site is the tourists, but then, you may see that as an opportunity. This area was once rainforest, so keep in mind that although the rainforest may have thinned out, apparently no one told the rain. Bring suitable gear. From Hilo, take Waianuenue Ave. mauka, follow the hospital signs, look for Rainbow Falls signage, turn accordingly. Bring skeeter spray if you want to explore the trails above the falls.
23- COCONUT ISLAND, MOKU OLA, Hilo- A small island off of Banyan Drive, next to Hilo Hawaiian Hotel, surrounded by turquoise waters & ancient false Kamani, the beautiful ocean views are magic. Accessed by foot bridge, but we usually end up just painting in the parking lot because it's so gorgeous right there. Water & bathrooms available.
30- WAILOA PARK, Hilo – An easy in-town-end-of-the-year location. It’s graceful curvy bridges challenge us, the expansive lawns, freely spreading trees, & calm river water provide a reflective atmosphere. In case of rain, it's an easy escape into a pavilion or under a bridge. From Manono Street enter the park on Piilani St. We usually say "meet in the area of the large pavilion", but you'll find us all about the lawns, painting boats, ducks or other fascinating stuff. Easy access, plenty parking, restrooms, ducks..
OTHER MUSINGS-
WAILOA CENTER- DECEMBER- "Companion Animals: Furred and Feathered" juried show. Opening reception Fri. Dec. 3rd, 5 to 7 p.m. By Esther Szegedy, proceeds will benefit

NOVEMBER PLEIN AIR SCHEDULE
ALOHA NOVEMBER, ALOHA ARTISTS! Well November's here, along with the season's first big swell-- & I do love a northwest swell. We don't really get the giant waves here on the east side of the Big Island, but it's so fabulous to feel the ocean on my face, & to breathe the heavy salt mists. I recently stood at Scenic Point watching big waves break on Blonde Reef, the white water rolling violently onto the breakwater. Big waves always bring a smile to my mug.
It seems we must constantly familiarize ourselves with this magnificent island that we're so privileged to call home, to keep pace with rapid changes, discover ancient secrets, & admire the aina. As painters, we can hook up with the Kona & Kohala Plein Air groups. It is a wonderful way to visit new locations, revisit old favorite spots, & meet artists! There's plein air groups on every island, but to paint with the other Big Island groups is a simple matter of getting on the email lists & doing the drive. Kona & Kohala groups both paint on Friday...

4-WAI'ULI BEACH PARK,(AKA Leleiwi) Keaukaha-Every first Thursday of each month begins here. Wai'uli never stops impressing us with it's easy charm & amazing views. Tide pools & brilliant grasses, shade trees, amazing clouds, across the bay views, boats, surfers, outrageous ocean, & magnificent reflections, it just never quits. Bring "works in progress" for feedback, finish up paintings from other sessions, or start something new. A great time to reconnect with the group & see what's cooking. Kalaniana'ole Ave, to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's, plenty parking, pavilions, water & a real restroom.
11- VIRGINIA ALDERSON'S HOUSE, Hamakua– We’ve been invited to paint at a private residence on the ocean swept cliffs at Kolekole! Virginia has graciously opened her lanai & grounds of her home to us. From Hilo: N. up Hwy 11, pass the Kolekole turnoff -over the bridge. Immediately after the bridge-makai side -is Virginia’s gated driveway. Thank you Lynn Nakim for setting this up, Thank you Virginia for your aloha!
18- KING'S LANDING (AKA- Lehia, or Pu'umaile)-It's original name is Lehia, the others are names earned through time.. At the end Kalaniana'ole Ave., just past Richardson's Beach Park, through the yellow metal gate (it'll be open), follow the dirt road along the shoreline to the end, you'll find us tucked under the trees along the shore. Views of pounding surf, wild seas, coastal Ironwoods provide ample shade. Regal Mauna Kea sits proudly before us. Parking, lua, & not much else, bring your own water.
25- BOTTOM OF HAILI STREET AT HILO BUS TERMINAL PARKING LOT- Thanksgiving Day! Not everyone is making or eating a feast..& even if you are, you may still want to take advantage of this rare opportunity to catch Hilo without the hustle & bustle of everyday. The ambiance is amazingly serene. Hopefully Gerald will be back for this, it's become a tradition.

OCTOBER SCHEDULE/en Plein Aire
Aloha October, Aloha Artists!
October is here with a bit of rain,& the return of the lovely trades. Good to remember to weight your easels, & have some rain gear available. The intake for EHCC's Fall Show is Saturday Oct. 30th, 9am- noon, but maybe call first (9615711), EHCC can occasionally be fickle with their scheduling. This years fee's are a bit higher it seems, $20 per entry for members, $30 for non-members. It's wise to enter tho, members from the State Foundation on Culture & The Arts purchasing committee have been known to frequent this show (& buy works) in the past years. Wailoa Art Center is hosting the E Komo Mai show, intake is: 10/30, 10am-3, $10 adult fee, $5 children's fee. This will also be a nice community art exhibit. Meanwhile, En Plein Air Artists, here's what Leslie has aligned up for October...
OCTOBER SCHEDULE, en plein aire-- Every Thursday, 8am, no fees, no humbug
7- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK, Keaukaha (formerly Leleiwi)- Every first Thursday of each month begins here. Wai'uli never stops impressing us with it's easy charm & amazingly morphing views. Tide pools & grasses, shade trees, honu, sea creatures, amazing clouds, across the bay views, boats, surfers, reflections, it just doesn't quit. Bring "works in progress" for feedback by fellow artists, or use it as a time to finish up paintings from other sessions in perfect lighting. A great time to reconnect with the group & see what's cooking. Kalaniana'ole Ave, to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's, parking, 5 pavilions & a restroom.
14- ALA HEIAU, Ola'a Puna - Hawaiian Paradise Park. From the Kea'au Pahoa Hwy, turn makai at Maku'u, follow down to the end. At the bottom of Maku'u turn right onto Ala Heiau Rd. follow to the end, park along the road, leaving access for the fishermen's trucks to pull in. Fabulous vistas of coast, tidepools, wind whipped trees, & rowdy surf from the safety of wonderfully shaded cliffs. We love this place! NO facilities, no water.
21-HILO BAYFRONT CANOE LANDING- Hilo Bay Canoe Halau, at Bayfront Beach Park -
Easy access, plenty parking, & beautiful views of Hilo town, the bay, Mauna Kea, colorful canoes parked at the halau along the shoreline. From Kamehameha Avenue, enter the beach park parking lot, makai side between Manono & Pauahi. Portable lua, water available.
28- WAILOA RIVER, MAUKA SIDE– We've painted across the river from this purple building under the enormous banyan tree a few times when we were having Sunday morning sessions. The purple building lends an interesting pop, wild reflections, & the unlikely perspective of an old plantation era building. Views of the Wailoa river, & pond, park greenways. No facilities, but it’s near by Cruisin’ Coffee & Cafe 100, & both have bathrooms. From downtown Hilo, driving towards Puna on Kilauea Ave., just past Aupuni Street & Crusin Coffee, you'll see a parking area situated below the billowing banyan, & next to the landmark purple building.
Another area to park is just behind Home Street Bank.. large shady lawn & multiple views.

October is here with a bit of rain,& the return of the lovely trades. Good to remember to weight your easels, & have some rain gear available. The intake for EHCC's Fall Show is Saturday Oct. 30th, 9am- noon, but maybe call first (9615711), EHCC can occasionally be fickle with their scheduling. This years fee's are a bit higher it seems, $20 per entry for members, $30 for non-members. It's wise to enter tho, members from the State Foundation on Culture & The Arts purchasing committee have been known to frequent this show (& buy works) in the past years. Wailoa Art Center is hosting the E Komo Mai show, intake is: 10/30, 10am-3, $10 adult fee, $5 children's fee. This will also be a nice community art exhibit. Meanwhile, En Plein Air Artists, here's what Leslie has aligned up for October...
OCTOBER SCHEDULE, en plein aire-- Every Thursday, 8am, no fees, no humbug
7- WAI'ULI BEACH PARK, Keaukaha (formerly Leleiwi)- Every first Thursday of each month begins here. Wai'uli never stops impressing us with it's easy charm & amazingly morphing views. Tide pools & grasses, shade trees, honu, sea creatures, amazing clouds, across the bay views, boats, surfers, reflections, it just doesn't quit. Bring "works in progress" for feedback by fellow artists, or use it as a time to finish up paintings from other sessions in perfect lighting. A great time to reconnect with the group & see what's cooking. Kalaniana'ole Ave, to Wai'uli Beach Park, just before Richardson's, parking, 5 pavilions & a restroom.
