| The purple jacaranda grove
in Makawao. Jacaranda's start blooming at the lowers, about 2,000 ft.
First the green leaves turn from green to yellow-green, than yellow and fall off. Then the purple flowers bloom. This painting has another reason for being. The orange and yellow-orange flowers of the Silver Oak are a complement color to the cobalt sky. I like to put complements from my color wheel side by side when I see them happen... and two major sets of complements is hard to pass up. Purple jacarandas and yellow-green sunlit grass is a given. Expect perfection, it happens all the time! |
| Day 1, it's very windy but a beautiful
day Upcountry Maui. Today's medium is alkyd oil medium and oil paints.

| We found a place in the
shade with a little wind protection and by 10:30 we were painting,
well Jean was painting, I was drawing till 12:00. We finished for the day
at 2:45.
The other tree that is in full bloom is the Silver or Black Oak. Don
