<\/a>Marian Dunn tells us: \u201cPainting has been in my blood for about 80 years,\u201d and we know she exaggerates. Still, the artist and teacher, who works in most mediums except sculpture, says she is never too old to learn and experiment. \u201cMy latest have been encaustic, printmaking, and I\u2019m always trying new stuff in acrylic. I just finished a 35\u201d x 35\u201d antique onion in oil on canvas. It\u2019s on my Facebook page.\u201d She is just getting used to presenting her work on social media and admits she hasn\u2019t touched her website in at least five years. In fact, she took her very first selfie for 15 Bytes (we are, however, publishing her second \u2013 it\u2019s vastly better). \u201cIndeed,\u201d she remarks, \u201clife is new experiences.\u201d She teaches watercolor and acrylic in her studio in master classes, \u201cand any and all\u00a0mediums\u201d in outdoor workshops. \u201cNext fall I am planning to teach at La Romita School of Art in Italy for a two-week workshop,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
