Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival

3CPS will have a booth at the Morro Bay Winter Bird Festival in January 2019.  The details of that will be coming soon.  In the meantime, though, we’re getting together to   paint birds so that we’ll have a lot of original bird art to show and sell at the show.

These will be free, fun get-togethers with other 3CPS artists.  Bring your favorite bird photos or use some of the extras that we’ll have on hand.  Set up and start painting!

Painting Get Togethers: Wednesday, October 31st from 9:00 – noon and Monday, December 10th from 10am – 2pm
