Let's go back to beautiful Lake Del Valle in Livermore. We'll paint on the East side of the lake, gathering at the South end of the first big parking lot. I'm attaching a map to help you find the spot.

Please note, there is no cell reception anywhere in the park. They do have pay phones for emergencies. It's sometimes windy around the lake so be prepared to tie down your gear.

You'll find beautiful, green views of the hills and valley as well as a picturesque old ranch. This is a joint paint-out with the Jade Fon Saturday Painters, so you may see some new faces.

Paint-Out Jan 20 at Los Vaqueros

Contra Costa Plein Air Paint-Out

Thursday, January 20, 10 am - 3 pm

Los Vaqueros Watershed

North Entrance at 121 Walnut Blvd., Brentwood CA 94513

Let's paint at Los Vaqueros Watershed on the north side of the park (near Brentwood) this coming Thursday, January 20th, 10 am to 3 pm. From this area you can get some nice views of Diablo with oaks, buckeyes and grassland in the foreground. Should be super green right now!

Enter through the North Entrance Gate at 121 Walnut Blvd. and pay your parking fee ($6 standard, $5 seniors, $4 Diablo Water District customers). Turn right into the first parking lot and park at the north end of the lot for the best Diablo views. The signs say Equestrian Parking, but the ranger has allowed us to park and paint there in the past. I'm attaching a map to help you find us.

Restrooms are open, rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
