Artist Biography:
Jack Dudley lived and painted in Laguna Beach, California for thirty-eight years. He painted landscapes, architecture, people, and wildlife, in both oil, acrylic, and watercolor. He developed a "broken color" technique of oil painting involving the use of brilliant bits of pure color visible throughout the tonal patterns of his work. Later he used modern, fast drying paint to accelerate the drying process. Dudley's studies included five years at the Art Center School in Los Angeles, instruction under modernist Lorser Feitelson and Barse Miller.
