How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
What old December’s bareness every where!
Sonnet 97 by William Shakespeare

• Last month at our Waverly Artists Group Critique night, photo-realistic artist Jim Dunne brought a large-scale 45″x52″ oil painting that blew me away. His work is inspired by ordinary people enjoying everyday life and this newest piece, Crush, depicts an energized crowd of dancers at Raleigh’s 42nd St. Oyster Bar. It was composed from more than 100 photographs and painted full-time over the course of 7 months. Since you really have to see it to believe it, we will be hosting a special exhibit of Jim’s work this Friday at our Final Friday Open House. You don’t want to miss it! These paintings start in pricing above $19,000.00. Jim will be presenting two pieces of art that have required a year of work. Attached is a cropped version of one of the paintings. This will be the first gallery showing of his work in the triangle and you will be amazed. Do you like Swing Dancing? Have you ever visited the 42St Oyster Bar? If you have you are in for an artistic treat. In Jim’s own words….
“As a painter I am without apology a copier of photographs. It was the early 70’s when I received my education in Fine Art at the School of Visual Arts in Manhattan. The two opposing genre’s at that time were Photo Realism and Conceptual Art. My inspiration is sparked by common people enjoying everyday life. Jim Dunne
