I learned so much being with so many great artists and watching the master himself paint everyday is something I will not forget any time soon. I painted 2 paintings during the week keeping with the theme 'movie gangsters' I painted Al Pacino 'Scarface' and Marlon Brando 'The Godfather' I will share photos of these paintings very soon. I am looking forward to next years workshop already!!! thanks to everyone who made this year so memorable.

I have been reading Keith Richards autobiography while doing this painting as well as having the rolling stone recent greatest hits on repeat for the whole duration of the painting so its been a really enjoyable process.<br />

Also I continue to bring more and more color into my work and keep learning.<br /><br />Color adds a whole new dimension to the painting process which I am really enjoying. <br /><br/><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kyLu67PihGM/TywPW2e7nwI/AAAAAAAAAII/pCcqXCr75Yk/s1600/metallica-live-76x60cm%2Bfor%2Bweb.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 255px; height: 320px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-kyLu67PihGM/TywPW2e7nwI/AAAAAAAAAII/pCcqXCr75Yk/s320/metallica-live-76x60cm%2Bfor%2Bweb.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704951713228365570" /></a><br /><br/><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1u9swCHIniY/TywPeQtBc4I/AAAAAAAAAIU/pSqdp-8CFao/s1600/studio-shot-2-for-web.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 286px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-1u9swCHIniY/TywPeQtBc4I/AAAAAAAAAIU/pSqdp-8CFao/s320/studio-shot-2-for-web.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5704951840525874050" /></a>David Dunne Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386066379665261800noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234202680150704550.post-64725298416333540362011-12-20T14:18:00.000-08:002011-12-20T14:22:55.704-08:00"Belfast Boy" George Best<br />Here is an oil painting I just finished of the 'Belfast Boy', George Best, it's 50x40cm.

This is also done in acrylics.

This painting is in acrylics it was a nice change from oils I think nearly my last 50 paintins apart from one or two have been in oils and I am just getting a little sick of them and I am really enjoying using acrylics at the moments and I think I will do alot more work with them in the future. as always any comments would be appreciated and please check out my website www.daviddunneart.com<br /><br /><br/><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yhVZiFpr77Q/TgD41fkq5iI/AAAAAAAAAGo/T130PMGYXaI/s1600/Dave-Grohl-Mr-Foo-60x50cm-f.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 269px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-yhVZiFpr77Q/TgD41fkq5iI/AAAAAAAAAGo/T130PMGYXaI/s320/Dave-Grohl-Mr-Foo-60x50cm-f.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5620765932850439714" /></a>David Dunne Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386066379665261800noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234202680150704550.post-64452700554562970702011-05-11T15:07:00.000-07:002011-05-13T13:31:18.355-07:00Clint EastwoodHere is an oil painting I just finished of the one and only Clint Eastwood. I really enjoyed doing this one once again I went for the sepia tone look and I really like working with the little bit of color its a change from the straight black and white that I do most of the time and I hope to bring even more color into future works. <br /><br />Any comments would be appreciated and please check out my website.<br /><br/><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XltQinL5h9s/TcsIsvDHQ5I/AAAAAAAAAF4/cg3lim_JytQ/s1600/Clint-Eastwood-60x45cm--for.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 242px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-XltQinL5h9s/TcsIsvDHQ5I/AAAAAAAAAF4/cg3lim_JytQ/s320/Clint-Eastwood-60x45cm--for.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5605583725829505938" /></a>David Dunne Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386066379665261800noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234202680150704550.post-13774640380998244932011-04-22T02:54:00.001-07:002011-04-22T02:55:21.950-07:00Eimear Oil PaintingHere is one of my latest Oil paintings 'Eimear' its quite big 71x91cm . I took the reference photographs myself. I really wanted to capture the photograph more so than the portrait. I was trying to paint the photo as much as the person and work with the in focus and out of focus that was captured by the camera. I am really happy with this piece and this is the kinda of work I love to do. It is very time consuming but I hope to do another one soon possibly a self portrait. any comments would be appreciated as usual. <br/><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L39NQdAinrM/TbFQeixUqbI/AAAAAAAAAFw/N-FUvQBdmAQ/s1600/for-web-finished.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 248px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-L39NQdAinrM/TbFQeixUqbI/AAAAAAAAAFw/N-FUvQBdmAQ/s320/for-web-finished.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5598344297458215346" /></a>David Dunne Arthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13386066379665261800noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7234202680150704550.post-18985167314685600822011-04-06T03:26:00.000-07:002011-04-06T03:27:14.041-07:00Luke Kelly, Ronnie Drew, The DublinersHere is an oil painting I just finished of Luke Kelly and Ronnie Drew from the Dubliners.
