Just got back from seeing the William Wendt exhibition at the Laguna Beach Art Museum, and my eyeballs will be along shortly! He painted around the Laguna Beach area and built a studio and home there in 1912. The exhibition lets you track his development from Impressionist to California Impressionist. Quite a rollicking journey!

I love so much about the man's work it's hard to know where to start the long list: the colors, the brushwork, the boldness! All wonderful and a real treat to see. I'll go back if I can, probably dragging a couple of painter friends.

Here's a link to the exhibition at the Laguna Beach Art Museum:
