I may be the daughter of a sailor, but I'm not wild about the wind!! Especially when painting!! Got up this morning with the very vocal birds (ok, screaming Frankolins..call em what they are!) intending to get an early start on a plein air piece after my walk.
Started out with a nice little bit of wind, no big deal. Set up my easel on the beach in Puako and was painting the always lovely tidepools looking north toward Kohala mountain. Nice.
An hour later, a little more wind..."ok...keep painting Lynn, it'll die down" I told myself. Another hour... HOWLING winds from the mauka side so that every few minutes I was grabbing my easel AND my palette (and yelling," No!" at the wind gods!) (yes- I've had THAT happen before!)
Finally called it a day after painting as fast as I could...... Whew, I'm beat!! Enjoy..
