About half a year ago, I invited that crazy and wonderfully inventive San Francisco Bay area artist Myrna Wacknov to come to my Sacramento City College water color class to show us the right stuff. She came about two weeks ago and did a self portrait from a reference photo that she had shot using the photo booth function on her Imac. Myrna went berserk working on a weird paper substrate and using funny drawing instruments and mondo bizarro inks and bleach! At the conclusion of her demo, she simply picked up her self portrait and smiled!...
so did my class!!! Check out Myrna's blog to see more of her crazy and beautiful experimentations. Tell her Lobenberg sent you.

Great post! I'm a big fan of Myrna and her work.
Love her style!
Great photos David! And, I like the way you write! Love those bracelets!
Yes, Peggy, great bracelets!...along with her art, of course!
Myrna is a treasure that all of us painters hold in the highest regard. She is AWSOME!!
Wow, great post and thanks for the link to her site. Always entertaining and full of great info...I am enjoying your blog.
This is interesting to see...also blown away by older posts I missed...sun up to sundown and downtown dead end. Marvellous.
Go Myrna! I've never seen a more experimentally creative painter. Wish she was on the east coast! The class must have been blown away.
Damn right, Mike.
Thank you, Clive. Always appreciate your comments.
They dug it big time, Dan.
Your students are lucky to have you and lucky to have guest artists like Myrna - she's great!
That, she is, Rhonda!
Fantastic David. I'm in Florence right now at the Florence Biennale, so it's difficult to comment, but I have missed your blog and your humour. Hi from Italy.
Take care,
Barbara
Have a rollicking good time in Italia, Barbara, and a safe return to Canada!
