We had a nice day at Kailua Beach.

Thanks to the AHA Saturday gang, the plein air painting folks and Jerry of the HWS for attending.
Hope to spread a little sunshine and Aloha!

Wow! Hawaii looks like the place to SketchCrawl! Fantastic light. I'd love to see more of the paintings-Ron's looks interesting-he's holding it to camera - looks like a kind of beach hut?

Michelle: Thank you for posting first to the site and your kind comments.
MattJonez: Yes, Hawaii is a great place. The hut Jerry is painting is Buzz's Steakhouse next to Kailua Beach, we had lunch there after the crawl.
An older Hawaiian style hale with a tree growing out of the roof. We hope Jerry can post his finish work.

Donal: Thanks for the encouragement! Yes, we are fortunate to live in a warm place. The Sketchcrawls from other places are so interesting and fun.

I would love to join your Sketchcrawl group in sunny Hawaii.
The weather looks so perfect.
One day, I'd like to join your Sketchcrawl....more like Paintcrawl
Lillian - nice snug set up.
Jerry & Ron - Beautiful landscape paintings.
Mark - The Canoe Hale painting looks great. Love the shadows.
Mike - nice composition with the canoes.
John - It's like you snapped photos with your sketchbook.
Each layout can stand alone, but still tells its' own story.
