The purple jacaranda grove in Makawao. Jacaranda's start blooming at this 2,000 ft. altitude.
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. Jean Giordano is painting with me.
