Contra Costa Plein Air Paint-Out
Saturday, February 24, 10 am - 2 pm
Nortonville Road, Pittsburg
For GPS you can use 5780 Nortonville Rd., Pittsburg CA 94565
Nortonville Road is looking beautiful right now! Let's paint there this Saturday, February 24th, 10 am to 2 pm. Enter Nortonville Road from Kirker Pass Road on the outskirts of Pittsburg. You can use 5780 Nortonville Rd., Pittsburg CA 94565 in your GPS to help you find the street (that address is one of the private residences, not our actual spot.)
The almond blossoms were out when I scouted today (Feb 18), but there's a chance they'll get knocked off by high winds this week. If that happens, no worries -- the area is still beautiful anyway! Rustic barns and ranch buildings, rolling green hills, cattle, gnarly old almond trees and magnificent oaks.
Park and set up your easel along the gravel shoulder of the road. The big, scenic barn is near the beginning of the road, or drive to the end of the road for views of almonds and oaks and the little green farmhouse.
Heads up -- when you leave, if you need to go in the direction of Concord turning left onto Kirker Pass can be scary (high speed traffic). It's easier to turn right and then find a safe way to circle back.
And please note, there are no restrooms in the area so plan ahead. Rain cancels. I hope to see you there!
