Share Your Favorite California Painting Spots!

I'm very excited to be attending the PleinAir Painting Convention in Monterey, CA this April, as a faculty member. Last years Convention in Las Vegas was a wonderful time, and one of my first opportunities in recent history to paint out west, which I truly enjoyed.  For info on attending click here

Additionally, I'm planning to tour around California after the Convention, and would love to have your advice on great places to paint surrounding Monterey. We definitely plan to see Yosemite, but are concerned about cold weather in April, and have had enough snow in New Hampshire! If you know places that will be warm and lovely to paint in April in California please let me know, either by commenting here, emailing here, or finding me on facebook! Thank you so much for your help!

Here's a Monterey painting by Thomas Moran that's getting me excited for the trip!
