 The nice ranger at the Pu'ukohola Heiau National Historic Site gave me permission to paint from the hill in front of the ranger office above the visitor center. It was a day of high surf, interesting light, and storms in the distance. Looking South from Pu'ukohola (the heiau is to my right and out of sight) I could see the campers at Spencer Park and the trail to Mau Mae beach beyond that. Surf was dramatic and I loved the vista from up there! I always love new points of view!

Kikaua Storm with whales
Acrylic 8 x 10
available $250

 What a day! I planned to join a group of plein air artists at Kikaua Point in Kona on the Big Island. The trades and rain that were normal around my 3000 foot elevation home stretched all the way to the shore. I had a lovely walk in the rain and was right there when the clouds lifted and the morning light came in. The whales spouted, the canoes went out, the surfer began to catch waves right there in the rocks - all very dramatic. You will have to zoom in to find all the activity! I did encounter one other intrepid artist but headed home to finish this after sketching in the rising wind.
