“
Because Nature is my teacher, I believe my paint-
ings are ‘living’ paintings so I call them PAINTINGS
WITH A HEARTBEAT™.”
Dooley, a prolific four season plein air painter, has a
delicate, pretty and joyous style without succumb-
ing to illustrative temptations. Her studio works,
while decidedly impressionistic in style, are based
on plein air studies and photographs. A national
and local award-winning artist, Dooley has been
exhibiting since 1971 and her paintings have been
juried into dozens of national and international
exhibits across the country.
“1993
is the year I will never forget and that year
was the turning point in my painting career. The
Worldscape Series was broadcast on PBS television
and featured world-renowned marine artist, John
Stobart. John was painting outdoors which was
something I had heard of, but never considered
doing. As I watched him paint, I witnessed an
extraordinary metamorphosis as his blank canvas
became a beautiful painting that seemed to come
to life. I was so excited that I decided to write him
a letter. A few months later, I had the opportunity
to personally meet him at one of his exhibits held in
New York City. I asked John for his advice, and he
said, ‘The best way to learn how to paint, is to paint
on site.’ The very next day, I went outdoors, set up
my easel, and instantly discovered the reason why
Nature was the best teacher. I cannot find the
words to express how much I appreciated John’s
advice. It was the biggest positive influence on my
painting career.”
In 2008 and 2009, Dooley developed plein air
videos which are exhibited on YouTube.com. Her
primary focus is to encourage aspiring artists to
paint plein air.
In 2011, Longtimers Productions (located in Mon-
terey, California), contacted Dooley asking for per-
mission to broadcast a 30 minute episode of her
videos on AMP cable television’s “Life in the Arts.”
Longtimers Productions produces a series of pro-
grams for “Life in the Arts” which contain the best
art lessons on YouTube. The episode included sev-
eral “spontaneous” interviews taken by her hus-
band, Mark, and several of Dooley's videos. “I was
thrilled at having another venue to promote paint-
ing on site outdoors.”
In the last two years, Dooley has devoted most of
her time to writing her book,
“
Nature, The Best
Teacher,”
which was published on March 16, 2013.
Nature, The Best Teacher
was conceived with a pri-
mary focus: To encourage the aspiring artist to
return to the fundamental principles and to use
Nature as the Teacher.
Dooley is an elected Artist Member of the Salma-
gundi Club; an Associate member of the American
Impressionist Society, Oil Painters of America,
American Women Artists, and National Oil & Acrylic
Painters' Society; and a member of the New Jersey
Society of En Plein Air Painters.
