(Virtual) Maui

Maui...nicknamed The Valley Isle is the second largest of the Hawaiian Islands covering roughly 730 square miles. Named after the Hawaiian Demi-God (also Maui)

Built entirely from Volcanoes...Maui hasn't shown activity since the late 1700's and is considered dormant.

Maui is a leading Whale-Watch Center for Humpback whales.

Making a bit of progress on the beginnings of my painting

And enjoyed (as Bob Ross would say) a Happy Accident on Saturday when I tilted a not quite dry canvas and realized that when I start working with the flowing lava (magma) this is how I can get more realistic flow lines.  Going to mix the colours fairly wet and then use canvas tilt and gravity to get a more real looking molten lava flow.

No happy squirrel or afro required!
