Milford Zornes Celebrates 100th Birthday
Posted by jessica

Our thanks goes to Tom Fong (one of the featured artists in Watercolor Magic’s April 2007 issue) for sharing these photos from Milford Zornes’ centennial celebration held last Saturday at the Pasadena Museum of California Art. A popular workshop instructor himself, Fong was delighted to be in attendance; Zornes was his own first workshop instructor.

“At the age of 100 years and one day old … wow!” writes Fong. “He did a wonderful full sheet demonstration. Some gentleman purchased it for $6,500, and Milford donated the money to the Pasadena Museum of California Art.”

That is certainly something to celebrate.

The festivities included a demonstration by Zornes,

some very colorful confections (his own painting reproduced on a cake!),

and the finished painting that went for $6,500, which Zornes donated to the museum.
