It was a lovely day for a group of artists to make a short trek to the perfect spot for plein air painting. After much-needed rainfall here in Northern California,
Lime Ridge Open Space was simply gorgeous. Coyote pups were frolicking, raccoons and squirrels were scampering, birds were singing and wildflowers were blooming. Every leaf on every tree was shining in the breeze after having all the dust and debris washed away in the weekend storm. The sky couldn't have been more blue; the hills couldn't have been more green.

We go to beautiful places like this all over the Bay Area each month, from
March to October. If you have a day job, it's totally worth taking a vacation day (or a sick day, shhhh...we won't tell) to join us. And even if you're not sure whether plein air painting is for you, bring your camera and a journal and come anyway. It's relaxing and peaceful - nothing better than a day spent being inspired by nature.
