I am so envious of anyone who could have taken classes with Thiebaud. What a great opportunity. The videos i have seen with him speaking even at 89 he's vibrant and articulate, expressive, and surprising self-effacing. it makes me so glad i saw the show at San Jose Musem of Art today. His show is there til 7/4/10 and it is wonderful.

I was a student of Wayne's from 1973 to 1978. Wow! As great a painter that he is, he was an even better teacher! So inspiring. Always gave honest but helpful critiques!

My mom went to his class in 1967 at Davis. She still remembers how great and down to earth he was.

Wow its nice that I got to work where he played tennis at and when he talked I learned
a whole lot from a man that never let fame get to him
