Paint-Out Feb 22, Oakley Orchards

Contra Costa Plein Air Paint-Outs

Blooming orchards in Oakley

Wednesday, February 22, 10 am - 2 pm

Marsh Creek Regional Trail at Delta Road

750 Delta Rd., Oakley CA 94561

The Oakley orchards were so beautiful yesterday -- let's go back while they're still in bloom! (Please note, I've cancelled the additional Feb 26 paint-out I originally scheduled at this location due to rain.)

We'll be painting along the Marsh Creek Regional Trail just south of where it crosses Delta Road. There's a big orchard with Marsh Creek in the foreground and Mt. Diablo beyond, and a smaller orchard right next to the trail for great close-up views. The small orchard has a mix of trees, some in bloom and some not yet.

The address you can use to find our spot is 750 Delta Rd., Oakley CA 94561. Parking is along the shoulder of Delta Road (be sure to leave the bike lane clear). Marsh Creek Regional Trail is a wide, paved trail with plenty of room to set up our easels along the sides.

Please note, there are no restrooms at this location, but shopping centers are a short drive away. Admission is free, rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
