Moutain View

"Mountain View", an acrylic painting on canvas, by Kenneth Grzesik, 14 inches by 11 inches. I had heard that in Hanalei on Saturday mornings there was a farmers market where artist and crafts people could set up a table and sell their wares. Being low on funds this seemed like a good thing to investigate. I loaded a bunch of art into my old truck and headed north only to get there too late to do any good. It was a cloudy, breezy morning that had a somewhat powerful feel to it. I took my box of paints and a fresh canvas and headed to the beach to see what I could see. Really liking the view from the pier I sat down at one of the tables and unbacked my stuff. As I sketched in my composition clouds drifted by. These were heavy rain clouds that would completely engulf the mountains only to be blown away be the strong breeze. During the times of clearing waterfalls cascaded down the mountainside. I painted the day away, still broke but far richer by the experience.
