Making art has defined my life. My earliest memories are of drawing with my older sister, and my confidence grew as I recognized my ability to reflect the world around me. Art enriched my 33-year elementary school teaching career and today both of my daughters are talented artists. My paintings are done en plein air along the Pacific Coast and inland valleys in both oils and watercolor.
A lifelong resident of Northern California, I have always revered the beauty of our breathtaking natural environment and am grateful to make Mendocino County home.

Very cool website!
Can I talk to you about a commission? No big rush. Just give me a call at your convenience. Thanks!
Sure! I’ll call you at lunchtime, or call me as I will be home all day.
Hello, we came across a painting signed a E. Whiting. Where can we view your signature you leave on your paintings to see if what we have is indeed painted by you? thank you
So happy to reconnect with you!

Your California paintings are really wonderful.
Hi Lynne,
I saw your pieces this weekend at the Harbor House Inn and I was wondering your process on commissioning works? I had the most amazing weekend in Elk/Mendocino and would love some work to remember it by. Thank you!
Hi Molly,
Thank you for your interest and words of encouragement. I’m sorry that I didn’t respond earlier. This past year has been very unusual. Im not sure if you are still interested in a painting, but I am happy to work with you if you are. Please feel free to contact me through my email: lynnewhitingrobertson@gmail.com. If you have an interest in a certain painting, or would like to see more, you might want to visit our gallery at: artcoop@mcn.org. Just put my name in the search box and a further sampling of my paintings will come up. I can also do a commission if you have a subject in mind.
Thanks again,
Lynne
