Paint-Out June 22, Blake Garden


Contra Costa Plein Air Paint-Out
Wednesday, June 22, 10 am - 3 pm
Blake Garden
70 Rincon Rd., Kensington CA 94707

Let's go back to beautiful Blake Garden! Park in the parking lot, then walk into the garden through the pedestrian gate and find your spot. Lots of beauty everywhere! I'll probably set up in the Succulent Ridge area with its spectacular Bay view, but there's also the historic house, reflecting pool and an abundance of trees, flowers and quiet pathways to explore. I'm posting a map below to give you some ideas.

Admission is free, restrooms are open. Park open 8 am to 4:30 pm. Rain cancels. The address is 70 Rincon Rd., Kensington CA 94707. Enter the parking lot through a stone gate on Rincon where the road curves. Details at http://blakegarden.ced.berkeley.edu/
