Painting at Anna's Ranch with a plein air group and had memories from 50 years ago at "Old Hawaii on Horseback", a show put on in her front yard by Anna Perry-Fiske for many years. so here is Anna's Ranch about 50 years apart. That is me on the white horse.
Opposite points of view, but we went in under the canopy in the painting when Anna wanted to check our costumes. She didn't like how I had my hat and made me re-position it.
As usual it took awhile to finish the painting. I had fun putting in all the flowers there are now.

 This favorite place will one day bloom again - it is having a low point just now and I stood there by the dry stream and dead tree and painted a memory. I'm honored that my painting was chosen to be on the 2024 tee-shirt for Waimea Trails and Greenways. (which seems to have fallen through, but fun anyway) Loved seeing so many old and new friends along the trail while painting! So grateful to the friends that helped me lug my gear to this out of the way spot and modeled for the dog walkers! (Lori and Ralph!) The figures at the stream crossing represent myself and my grandson. We have spent many happy times floating leaf boats there.

Sadly the property owner outside the stream-side trail easement saw fit to bulldoze the trees, knocking them into a mess almost in the stream itself, and the place is a sad remnant for the moment. I'm sure it will someday be restored but for the moment this is all I could do.
