Nothing wakes up the mind and spirit quite like creating your own work of art. Whether you enjoy painting, sculpting, or drawing, there are plenty of amazing places to take art classes in the Bakersfield area. Here are a few of the top studios and art spaces that our agents recommend checking out. 

• Brush & Blush: 95 Spruce St., Bakersfield, CA 93304
  Brush & Blush is an art studio offering online and in-person classes. They are always adding new lessons and events to their website. You can learn how to paint decorative boards or paint on canvas. If you'd rather learn to paint from the comfort of your own living room, sign up for one of their online events instead. Either way, you're welcome to sip wine while you paint!
  
  Blush and Brush employs friendly, helpful instructors who teach in a clear, step-by-step manner. So even if you have little to no painting experience, you can have a great time and enjoy learning here.

If you love nature, you won't want to miss this important holiday: Nature Photography Day. It falls on Tuesday, June 15th this year, and it's the perfect excuse to snap some photos of yourself enjoying nature's beauty. This raises the question: What are some of the best spots for nature shots in the Bakersfield area? Our agents have some recommendations. 

• The Park at River Walk: 1200 Stockdale Hwy., Bakersfield, CA 93311
  At The Park at River Walk, you could snap some pictures of yourself sitting along the river, leaning against a tree, or standing on one of the little bridges that stretch across the creeks.
  
  This charming park has a pond with ducks and fish, a playground for kids, and lots of trails for walking and bike riding. It's a great place to stop with kids or with your dog. Just note that dogs must be kept on a leash at all times. You could even snap a family photo as you all enjoy lunch at a picnic table. There are restrooms on-site, free WiFi, and barbecue grills for public use.

When searching for a new home in Bakersfield, it's important to know what's nearby. For instance, where can you go to grab a donut on your way to work? You've got Dunkin' and Krispy Kreme, of course, but what about the local places? There may be plenty of Bakersfield homes for sale, but are they near any good local donut shops? They are. Here are some of the best donuts around Bakersfield.

• Rosedale Donuts - 2681 Calloway Dr., Bakersfield, CA 93312
  A small place in a shopping center in Rosedale, this donut shop looks simple and unasuming, but it has some of the best donuts you'll find: hot, fluffy, and delicious. They have everything from glazed and frosted to jelly and custard-filled to fritters and bear claws, to donut holes, and more. They also have a great assortment of iced coffees, such as mocha, chocolate mint, and vanilla latte. Plus boba smoothies and blended Kidz Kreamz drinks. Sold individually or by the dozen, Rosedale Donuts are delicious and affordable.

We've done the hard work for you, visiting tons of taco spots until we found the best in the area (you can thank us later). When you're ready to take a break from exploring Bakersfield homes for sale, consider heading to one of these amazing local restaurants for a taco feast. 

• Los Tacos De Huicho – 123 E. 18th St., Bakersfield, CA 93305
  Los Tacos De Huicho doesn't serve fast food; they serve amazing food, fast. We love the fact that they make all their tortillas fresh and use real Mexican cheese. This goes a long way towards providing an authentic dining experience.
  
  We recommend the shrimp or fish tacos, as they're arguably the best you'll find in the Bakersfield area!
