Virtual Plein Air Outing: Trail Views

View from Briones Regional Park


February XOXO to all plein air painters! We hope you’re all hanging in there and staying safe. February is the month of love...love of family, love of friends and love for life! 

CAA Board Member, John Nakanishi, not ony loves making art, he's also an avid  hiker and runner. He's always armed with his GoPro camera strapped to his helmet so he can capture interesting views along our Bay Area trails.

Thanks to John for sharing - and thanks to those of you who responded last month to help us plan our 2021 Plein Air schedule. 

As we continue to navigate these challenging times, we're excited to make plans for safely meeting later this spring to sketch and paint. Watch your email in March for details. Looking forward to seeing you all again soon in the lovely outdoors!
