Aloha, I have posted the 6 oil paintings I have been working on for the last four months or so. They are almost finished besides painting all the edges black and touching up some faces. They are all 2x3. Sorry they are so small on the blog, can't figure out how to enlarge. Hopefully by next week the gallery will have a look and see if they are interested. I am just eager to get on to a new series, maybe mother and child? I am 8 months along and healthy and happy. Tonight Matt and I are going to a basic infant care class. Take care , Lauren

Family reunion

All the Haley family are reunited in Maui. Ryan and Ashley are here for a week. So far they have been to the beaches, the Saturday market, upcountry, Makawoa, the resorts and just hanging out in rainy Haiku. It was nice sitting on our lanai yesterday watching the sun go down. Good times, glad we could all get together again before the arrival of baby k.

Aloha, Matt and I had a hard week of moving from rainy, warm Haiku up 3,000 ft. to Kula. It is much cooler up here and no moisture. There are so many strange new birds and flowers. Kula is were most of the fruits and veggies are grow on the island. There is a great winding road that intersects our streets. I walked on it for 45 min and it just kept going. I have a plan to buy a bike to try to see were it goes. We can see and hear the cows on the hillside behind our place. At night they make this loud moaning screech. I don't know how to describe it. Our place is a 2 bedroom redwood log cabin. It is raised up over the garage and landlords guest house. Sliders open up to a large Lanai with views of Lanai. We got great sunrises in Haiku but now we get the sunsets. At night our view is of Kihei lit up below. This is only our second day here but we are liking it so far. Jude has plenty room and I have half the basement for my art. I had trouble getting good pictures of the house. I will try to post more later.

Live Aloha

In an attempt to get some photos of our new life on Maui, this is the easiest way to do it! Enjoy.
