About us
Peninsula Outdoor Painters (POPs) was established in 1977 and we welcome painters at every skill level. Our events are on Tuesdays at the same location for two consecutive weeks. Starting this year, we will also repeat some of our events on weekends to accommodate members who cannot paint on weekdays.
- Although our events are scheduled for 9:30 am, you can arrive any time
- Please post a photo of your painting when you can - it always inspires others
- Please stay on designated trails and yield to other people
- Do leave your painting area spotless, please leave no trace, so that we may return.
- Thank you so much and have a wonderful paint-out.

Lower La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve, La Honda
Lower La Honda Creek Open Space Preserve, 900 Sears Ranch Road, La Honda, CA, USLa Honda Preserve - a very special place
A hidden gem. Panoramic views at this location. Views to the west across a working cattle ranch with black Angus cattle grazing on the hills, and in the valley below, two ponds, a historic hay barn, various cattle pens, outbuildings and the ranch house. This is a working ranch and cows can be highly protective when a calf is nearby, so bear that in mind if you choose to hike after painting. Give them space. Also, magnificent views of the hills surrounding La Honda. A lot of painting options.
