Mark O'Keeffe: How it all began.....
http://markokeeffeportraits.blogspot.com/2009/12/how-it-all-began.html
Saturday, December 5, 2009. How it all began. GRANDDAD READS THE NEWS IN 1941. In October 1998, I began my Junior Cert art project, with the quirky title 'My Granny's Attic'. My plan was to put together a set of images of what you might find in my grannies' attics - pictures of old antiques, old photos, etc. I'd imagine that my grandmothers would have taken issue with the fact that I included a drawing of a rat in the project! THE 'BERTIE AND BILL FACTOR'. A TAOISEACH, A POPE AND A PHONE-CALL. One of the...

Mark O'Keeffe: Sean MacBride Portrait
http://markokeeffeportraits.blogspot.com/2008/04/sean-macbride-portrait-december-2002.html
Saturday, April 19, 2008. Sean MacBride Portrait - December 2002. The process itself was a challenge, where apparent certainty and clarity were often overshadowed by subjective blindness and suspense. However, this challenge, once got through, resulted in a certain satisfaction and immense relief when the constant threats of disaster were never actually realised.

Mark O'Keeffe: Visit to Charlie Haughey at Abbeville - March 2001
http://markokeeffeportraits.blogspot.com/2008/04/visit-to-charlie-haughey-at-abbeville.html
Saturday, April 19, 2008. Visit to Charlie Haughey at Abbeville - March 2001. He said to him! We then entered into a conversation, where we talked about the quality of life for artists in Ireland, and he asked me what I hoped to do once I completed my Leaving Certificate, which I was due to undertake some months later. The experience was a surreal but strongly encouraging one, and one that I greatly appreciated. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. How to contact me:. During his ...

Mark O'Keeffe: Portrait of Albert Einstein - Summer 2007
http://markokeeffeportraits.blogspot.com/2008/04/portrait-of-albert-einstein-summer-2007.html
Saturday, April 19, 2008. Portrait of Albert Einstein - Summer 2007. It is difficult for me to properly assess this portrait. Having spent so long working on it, you become so caught up in it that it is difficult to take an obective look at it. You are too conscious of aspects of it that somebody else may not notice. However, about nine months after finishing it, I am fairly content when I look at it. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. How to contact me:. Apollo Gallery, Dublin.

Mark O'Keeffe: The concept of portraiture
http://markokeeffeportraits.blogspot.com/2008/04/concept-of-portraiture.html
Saturday, April 19, 2008. The concept of portraiture. The distinguishing feature of a proper pencil portrait is the presence of an illusion of a third dimension. This dimension should be at the heart of every portrait. The task of the portraitist is to arrange a set of an almost infinite range of shades in such a way that they create the impression of depth. In summary, I believe that my form of portraiture can be described as a craft involving intense concentration and acute judgement. How to contact me:.
