Yesterday was the Fall Art Fair at Summerland Gardens.  It was a beautiful day, partly cloudy, but luckily no rain.  Summerland Gardens has been roasting and selling chiles from Hatch, New Mexico for the last few weeks.  Regularly, a truck drives up from Hatch to deliver the chiles and everyday they sell as many as they roast.

There were bushels of chiles, mild, medium and hot, just waiting to be roasted.  I set-up and painted this one in the afternoon.

I couldn't resist!  Smelling the roasting all day, I bought half a bushel...the exact ones roasting in this photo!  I confess, I bought milds!  Which ones would you have bought?

I just ran into Walmart.  When I was walking out the door I noticed the most wonderful smell.  Right on the front walkway, chiles from Hatch, New Mexico were being roasted.  They were selling them by the bushel.  Boxes and boxes of them were stacked up near the roaster.  I wish I'd had my camera or phone.  You gotta love living in the west!
