<br />
Artist Getaway in Occidental California is a painting vacation in the coastal redwood forest. Occidental is a small town nestled in Northern California beauty.<br />
<br />
In Occidental we paint en plein air, the Sonoma Coast and Russian River painting locations are no further than 10 miles from the hotel. We will go to a location each day as a group to paint and then meet at 5 pm at the hotel pool to for painting sharing and discussion.<br />
<br />
Artist Getaway's purpose is to enhance the social, cultural and emotional well being of artists and the community by supporting artists in their work and providing opportunities to promote art to the public. An Artist Getaway is a vacation for Plein Air painting for any level of experience and in any medium, oils, acrylics, watercolors, pastels, etc. and was founded in 2012. Plein Air (painting in the open air) became famous in France in the 19th century. Some of the hotels we stay in have meeting rooms where we can paint indoors as well in the open air. Artists can paint on their own or paint as a group in the scenic locations where we stay.<br />
<br />

The Point Reyes Field Institute (PRFI) is proud to be
sponsoring our North Bay Plein Air Meetup Group. Art in the Park has a long and
rich history with the National Park Service and hope to offer our local Plein
Air painters access to remote areas of the park and in return to be inspired by
the art.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Founded in 1964 the Point Reyes Field Institute offers
educational activities for the general public inside the park. Registration
Fees go towards their programs which raise funds to support critical resource preservation
projects and offer year-round environmental education programs that engage the
public in accessing, enjoying and understanding Point Reyes. Since their
founding, PRNSA has raised millions of dollars to support park projects and
environmental education programs that enhance the visitor experience, protect
the park’s resources, improve wildlife habitat and make a profound difference
in the lives of children and adults. Thank you for your support and enjoy your
time in the park!<o:p></o:p></div>

“We are thrilled to host the first Plein Air paint out in Downtown San Rafael, said Carol Thompson, SRBID Executive director. “There is much beauty to discover in our downtown, from historic buildings and architecture such as the iconic Mission San Rafael and the gorgeous art deco Rafael Theater. But we also know there are other gems to be captured by the fresh take of an artist’s eye.” </div>

Fort Cronkhite today is one of the few preserved examples of these World War II "mobilization posts" remaining in the country. The fort's barracks, mess halls, supply buildings, and other structures are preserved to tell the story of the soldiers who waited here for an enemy that never came.</span></div>

For those of you who have never visited Spring Lake Park, there is limited space along Montgomery Drive to park for free, otherwise, continue along the road to turn into the park entrance and park at the main lot. There is somewhat of a hike to get to the meetup point from Montgomery Drive along the Spring Creek Trail. If you don't want to hike, I suggest paying for the lot if you don't have a regional park pass.</div>

Air Meetup Group. Art in the Park has a long and rich history with the National
Park Service and hope to offer our local Plein Air painters access to remote
areas of the park and in return to be inspired by the art.</div>
<br />
Founded in 1964 the Point Reyes Field Institute offers educational activities
for the general public inside the park. Registration Fees go towards their
programs which raise funds to support critical resource preservation projects
and offer year-round environmental education programs that engage the public in
accessing, enjoying and understanding Point Reyes. Since their founding, PRNSA
has raised millions of dollars to support park projects and environmental
education programs that enhance the visitor experience, protect the park’s
resources, improve wildlife habitat and make a profound difference in the lives
of children and adults. Thank you for your support and enjoy your time in the
park! <br />
<br />
Stay tuned! We will be marking on our Meetup calendars of upcoming Classes and
workshops taking place at the Point Reyes Field Institute. <br />

Hi Painters! We will be visiting Bodega Head for this month's paintout. Such a great area and plenty of views to paint! We will be meeting at the big pullout closer to the Marina just in case the lot at the top of Bodega Head is full. (not the parking near the beach). Scroll to bottom of the page for directions.</div>
