ARMONK, N.Y. - By day, Barbara Dunn is a real estate agent at Houlihan & Lawrence in Armonk. She is also an established painter who is showing her work at the Schoolhouse Theater and Gallery in Croton Falls.
The show began Nov. 12 and continues through Jan. 4. A variety of original oil and acrylic paintings based on photographs Dunn and her daughter, Ilana, a senior at Byram Hills High School, took on family vacations in Europe are being shown.
Dunn's paintings, which she calls realistic, are boldly colorful with an abundance of light. They show buildings and water scenes in Venice, Burano, an island off Venice and the French countryside.
"I've painted since I was a teenager," she said, "and did drawings at the University of Pennsylvania. I stopped painting for 20 years but came back to it."
The mother of three calls painting "my fourth baby." She paints in her studio at her home on Mt. Kisco Rd. in Armonk.
