About Us

Robert E. Dunne, a.k.a., Bob, was active at his work as an artist all of his adult life.  He was an award-winning television Art Director in New York City and worked with oils and pastels doing professional portraits, ads, cartooning and caricatures.  His work has been displayed in many private collections.  

Bob was an artist who truly enjoyed imparting his vast creative knowledge on to others.  In later years, he taught portrait painting to students at universities in the Atlanta area.  He also created an art instruction book geared to children demonstrating how to take complex images and break them down to their basic shapes in order to capture them on a page.  

 Once inspired by the movements of the noble horse, Bob put aside portrait painting for six years to study horses in all their forms of action.  According to Bob, "the idea is to picture the horses in the middle of their activity, as if caught on the fly, to make a more convincing painting."  It is the same with his portraits.  It's been said that he captured the human spirit in his paintings, creating breathtaking family portraits. 

Sadly, Bob passed away at the age of 98.  Yet he still had the creative drive to capture a horse in action as he watched a horse race on the day he died.
