[TRAVELING ART EXPO] When proteges in the 1860's wanted to get away from their tutors, they created a new style of painting by escaping to work "en plein air." Maybe you've heard of them? Monet, Picasso and Cezanne. Ring any bells? This was also around the time of the inventing of lead-based paint. Interesting… The Invitational starts Sunday in Kapalua with all of the artists (12-3 p.m.) kicking off a series of painting that can be seen at the Village Gallery located at the Ritz-Carlton throughout the week. Then, for five days you may just stumble onto one of these artists, as they will spread over the island—you might recognize them by their erected canvas and poised paintbrush but also, they'll have badges to identify themselves. Anyone can just go up and start asking questions. Yeah, I bet that doesn't get annoying at all. Wednesday is the Jean Stern lecture at the Pioneer Inn, 7 p.m. Friday, Feb. 24 is the Quick Draw, where the artists have a limited amount of time to create, will be held in Lahaina (9-11 a.m.). Then on Saturday and Sunday (Feb. 25-26), you can get a look at all of the works back at the Village Gallery again (9 a.m.- 9 p.m.) A word to the wise, don't eat the paint chips, just in case.
