Kahaluu South

One of our favorite painting spots, Kahaluu Beach. This is an avid snorkling spot although without tourists it's very quiet. Tours would usually bring tourists here so made it very busy. Now our group of about 16 painters was the majority. I painted this view south from the side of the small church at the north end of the bay. Had done a small work from here earlier, a 4x16 and now did a 9x26 to keep the panoramic look. This is three times the square area of my usual 8x10 so took a solid three hours to get it looking good plus touchups at home. I like painting larger on site but takes the first two hours of blocking in to get it looking like anything and finally the third hour it starts to come together.
