"Herbs with Garlic,"  oil on linen, 6"x6" - sold
I have painted this Herbs of Provence jar a few times before.  It's always placed next to my stove - I keep refilling it with loose herbs - I just love the look of it. 

(This painting has since been selected for "6 Inch Squared" exhibition at Randy Higbee Gallery, opening April 16, 2011.  Please see show information above.)

Painting Laguna Coast

A few weeks ago I joined some friends in the late afternoon to paint in Laguna Beach.  I don't often paint outside during the winter months, so I was caught off guard when the sun disappeared WAY before I had a chance to lay in my colors!  I was unprepared for that.  I think I'll stick to painting outside when the days are longer. Of course it really didn't matter that I failed to paint much, it was just beautiful being outside in the brisk air taking in the view.
Wendy painting...into the sun. Not easy.
