   Lynne Westmore Bloom, an artist who died Friday night at home in Encinitas, is   
   best known for the work of guerrilla public art she created in 1966. Then   
   known as Lynne Seemayer, she left her Northridge home one October night, drove   
   to Malibu Canyon and    
   suspended herself from ropes on the rock cliff over the tunnel mouth facing   
   the coast. She worked by herself all night, and when the first drivers came up   
   the canyon after dawn, they saw the painted image of a bright pink, huge and   
   happily naked woman    
   clutching flowers on the rocks.
