I only had 35 minutes to run through this museum, but it was worth cramming it in. I only wish that I had more time to spend there. I will definitely be coming back the next time that I am on Oahu! p.s. Related posts: Maui: Alexander & Baldwin Sugar Museum Visting the…

I made a tiny watercolor palette for travel
I am trying not to be a watercolor paint hoarder but I couldn’t help but dream up a tiny plein air set when I got a free small tin of mints from a booth at ALA. I am using mostly Windsor and Newton Professional Artists watercolor paints, but I am now also experimenting with Daniel…
