My Life Drawing Experience with a live model is this Thursday (August 20) from 5 to 7pm at my art studio, Painting Paradise, in the Puhi Industrial Center. Erika will be modeling for us this week. And, save the date for a super fun life drawing experience with our own Kauai Santa on Wednesday, September 2 from 5 to 7pm. He will be in full Hawaiian Santa costume with props. This is a great opportunity to get a sketch and turn it into your Mele Kalikimaka card for this year. I have the availability to scan, print and make cards for you too! Message me if you'd like to join in on the fun!

Here are some truly AWESOME creations from my students in last Sunday’s Humpback Whale acrylic class. I love how each painting carries its own personality — all unique, all beautiful, and all filled with heart.
