A double-page sketch of Port Costa's main drag that I finished there today.
In case you don’t know that Port Costa is a renegade outpost, there’s a sign on the last building in the tiny town that reads “End of County-Maintained Road.” Beyond it is a gravel lot, railroad tracks, and the Bay. While our Plein Air group was painting there today, we had to cover our ears against the BLAT-BLAT-BLAT of bikers and smoosh our faces in our T-shirts against the tornadoes of dust they spewed.
Scenes from our adventure in Port Costa today.
My Port Costa sketch from an outing with the East Bay Plein Air Painters back in 2008!
