en plein air
I've known for a while that there is a local plein air painter's group, but it seems like something always comes up that prevents me from participating. I finally made it to one of their weekly meet-ups last Thursday, and spent a few hours at a lovely Hilo beach park painting the environs from life.
4 Mile Beach View, Keaukaha, Hilo, Hawai'i
It's been a long time since I've made a lengthy, focused effort to do a watercolor landscape from life. I find it very challenging (and maybe not as enjoyable as drawing animals and people) but it is GREAT practice. I was reminded that this kind of work requires great patience, something I could definitely work on ;)
The East Hawai'i plein air painters group meets weekly at various interesting places on 'our side' of the island, and now that I've finally made it to one, I definitely planning on going more often.

Hawaiian monk seals at the dreaming sea
Back from my travels means back to web comics; this one features a favorite endangered species of mine, the Hawaiian monk seal. Their population is dwindling and there's only about 1100 animals left - they desperately need all the help they can get!
