Spot of Light, Dot Bunn
Oil on Board (16x20), $2500

     Dot Bunn is a full time studio painter, teacher, lecturer working in a traditional method of oil painting. She is a life long resident of Bucks County. Dot’s award winning work has been exhibited at numerous juried shows including Salmagundi Juried Exhibition and Catharine Lorillard Wolfe Art Club in NYC. Twice she has received the top award for Best Painting at the Phillips’ Mill Juried Art Exhibition (2004, 2007). Dot was honored to have four of her figurative paintings selected by Philadelphia/Tri State Artists Equity Association to hang in their Select Exhibition. She has had five one woman shows in the past four years. She teaches traditional oil painting and color mixing from her studio in Bucks County, at Mixed Media in Doylestown, and at the Art Colony in Stockton, NJ, as well as lecturing at Delaware Valley College to adult education classes.

     Dot is a classical painter in oil using a combination of traditional and modern methods. “As a studio painter I believe that the most important part of creating a good painting is the planning that takes place before color ever touches the canvas. My process involves making deliberate choices starting from the point of selecting an image through composition, color choices and execution of the actual work.”

     “I believe that an artist should work toward achieving mastery of each individual element inherent to the creation of a work of art – inspiration, creativity, methods and techniques, preparation, understanding the tools, and ongoing research and experimentation. For me, these all play an important role in creating a total painting -- a work that will also endure over time.”
