Robert Charles Dunahay Biography

|
Included in prestigious domestic and international collections, Robert Charles Dunahay is best known for his chromatically lush paintings of palm trees. His large colorful canvases of a single palm image isolated against a solid color background have an immediate and definite pop art quality. The palms are beautifully rendered in fantastic detail with crisp, confident brushstrokes and saturated with rich colors. As a result of Dunahay’s intimate approach and ability to personalize the subject matter, these paintings feel more like portraits than landscapes.
