Paint-outs Feb 25 and 27, Oakley Orchards



Contra Costa Plein Air Paint-Outs  -- Double header!

Friday, February 25, 1 pm - 4 pm
Sunday, February 27, 10 am - 2 pm

Blooming orchards in Oakley
Marsh Creek Regional Trail where it crosses Delta Road
750 Delta Rd., Oakley CA 94561

The orchards are blooming in Oakley! Let's go paint them before the blossoms disappear. This is a double-header with paint-outs at this location on both Friday, February 25, 1 pm - 4 pm and Sunday, February 27, 10 am - 2 pm.  (Please note the 1 pm start time on Friday. You're welcome to go earlier if you like, but I won't be there until around 1 pm.)

We'll paint along the Marsh Creek Regional Trail just south of where it crosses Delta Road. There's a cherry orchard with the creek in the foreground and Mt. Diablo in the distance, and an almond orchard right next to the trail for great close-up views of the trees.

The address you can use to find our spot is 750 Delta Rd., Oakley CA 94561. Parking is along the shoulder of Delta Road. Marsh Creek Regional Trail is a wide, paved trail with plenty of room to set up our easels along the sides. You can find some nice views close to the road or walk in further along the trail to get closer to the almond trees.

Please note, there are no facilities at this location. Rain cancels. I hope to see you there on one or both days!
