Leave the city life behind for a few days and visit some beautiful vistas at a working cattle ranch about 20 minutes east of Santa Maria.
There will be lots of subjects to paint: cows, horses, hills, a river, historic structures, and plenty of wilderness to photograph/paint on 450 acres. Also enjoy nearby vineyards and coastal scenes galore.
There is no fee to attend this event. You will pay for your own hotel accommodations and food.
If you choose to stay at a hotel, here is our favorite. But of course there are many others in Santa Maria, California.
