Paintings of the Monastery's Mountain View

A couple days ago two local artists visited Kauai's Hindu Monastery to paint our beautiful view of Mount Waialeale and the Wailua River.

Here is a watercolor by Emily Miller.

This piece by Helen Turner, focusing on the Nani Ka'ua pond and albizia forest on the Wailua River, is done in pastels.

Plein air art, that which is done out in nature, is a bit of an extreme sport, they say. Painting a live view is a race against time and light!

Both artists are considering studio paintings of this, one of the most magnificent views on Kauai, based on photos we have provided. Stay tuned!
