Oakley orchards in bloom, March 7, 2024



Contra Costa Plein Air Paint-Out
Thursday, March 7, 10 am - 2 pm
Oakley orchards along the Marsh Creek Trail
750 Delta Rd., Oakley CA 94561

My favorite Oakley orchards are in bloom and looking lovely! Let's paint there this Thursday, March 7th to catch the action before the blossoms fly away. Clear weather is forecast so it should be nice. It can get windy out there, though, so be prepared to tie down your gear if needed.

We'll be painting along the Marsh Creek Regional Trail just south of where it crosses Delta Road in Oakley. There are orchards on both sides of Marsh Creek -- a large plum orchard across the creek and a smaller, very picturesque grove of older trees on the left side of the trail. We can set up along the side of the wide, paved trail for great views in all directions. On a clear day you can see Diablo (cue music!)

The address you can use to find our spot is 750 Delta Rd., Oakley CA 94561. Parking is along the shoulder of Delta Road. 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!
