Paint-Out May 27, Diablo Foothills Orchard Staging Area



Contra Costa Plein Air Paint-Out
Saturday, May 27, 10 am - 2 pm
Diablo Foothills Orchard Staging Area
Large parking lot just beyond Castle Rock Arabians, 1350 Castle Rock Rd., Walnut Creek CA 
(NOT at 1700 Castle Rock Rd., the address listed on the website)

Let's go back to one of our favorite spots, the Diablo Foothills Regional Park Orchard Staging Area. This will be a joint paint-out with the Jade Fon Painters. We were there last week and it's looking beautiful, still green with hints of summer gold on the way.

The best views are from the large parking lot. There's a good chance the driveway gate will be open, so drive on in to park, then set up your easel in the clear area around the perimeter. If the gate to the large lot is closed you can park across the street in the overflow lot. I'm attaching a map to help you find us.

Important directions: Please note that this location IS NOT at 1700 Castle Rock Rd., the address listed for Diablo Foothills Regional Park. Our spot is a big parking lot on the right side of Castle Rock Rd. just after you pass Castle Rock Arabians at 1350 Castle Rock Rd. The entrance has a big East Bay Regional Park sign and a driveway gate.

Heads-up, it's tick and rattlesnake season, so be prepared and aware. Best to stay out of the tall grass. There's a port-a-potty that's always open. New restrooms are under construction but not open yet. Admission is free, rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
