Events

As a representational painter, D.P. tries to convey sensory perceptions he observes from a subject that has caught his eye, just as a musician tries to interpret the feel of a piece of music. The subject can be something from our everyday surroundings that may go unnoticed or a pattern of contrast found in an intimate setting. A majority of the pieces in this exhibition were done on location en plein air (French for open air) or simply outdoor painting using Alla Prima (Italian, meaning at first attempt), a wet-on-wet painting technique. All the paintings are done in oils. His recent works draw influence from the Impressionists.

D.P. Warner was born in New Haven, CT in 1949, and since, has lived in or spent prolonged stays in over a dozen states from the east to west coasts.  He went to Roanoke College wanting to study music and instead, graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in the Visual Arts.  After ten years as an art gallery owner, DP returned to school where he earned his Master of Fine Arts in Painting at the University of Arizona.  Upon completing his studies he embarked on a 30year career in teaching Art, most of which was at Edinboro University of PA.  Presently, DP lives in Northwestern Pennsylvania and works from his studio in Meadville.
