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.
ReplyDeleteLove her style!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos David! And, I like the way you write! Love those bracelets!
ReplyDeleteYes, Peggy, great bracelets!...along with her art, of course!
ReplyDeleteMyrna is a treasure that all of us painters hold in the highest regard. She is AWSOME!!
ReplyDeleteWow, great post and thanks for the link to her site. Always entertaining and full of great info...I am enjoying your blog.
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting to see...also blown away by older posts I missed...sun up to sundown and downtown dead end. Marvellous.
ReplyDeleteGo Myrna! I've never seen a more experimentally creative painter. Wish she was on the east coast! The class must have been blown away.
ReplyDeleteDamn right, Mike.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Clive. Always appreciate your comments.
ReplyDeleteThey dug it big time, Dan.
ReplyDeleteYour students are lucky to have you and lucky to have guest artists like Myrna - she's great!
ReplyDeleteThat, she is, Rhonda!
ReplyDeleteFantastic 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.
ReplyDeleteTake care,
Barbara
Have a rollicking good time in Italia, Barbara, and a safe return to Canada!
