Talk:Denny Dent

Hi. I put a link to one of his most famous performance. It seems difficult to understand the talent of that person without watching him paint. Lionel Allorge (talk) 09:46, 18 September 2009 (UTC)

The remark "His style emerged after he painted a spontaneous portrait of John Lennon at a 1980 vigil" is incorrect. Denny (I knew him as "Dennis", he chnaged it to "Denny" after he started the "art attack"). He was living in Las Vegas, not much going on (money-wise), and, out of the blue (Denny came up with a lot of ideas that way), he wondered if how fast he could paint a portrait. The first one he ever tried is really hedious...I know because he gave it to me (I still have it). This was back in the middle to late 70s. I also have an Einstein he gave me as a wedding present. By the way, he also had to invent that swing around paint board he used (when he painted upside down, he then gave the board a shove, and, bang, suddenly the audience was looking at some star they recognized. That entire show was not "spontaneous", all of it was well planned, and well executed; right down to what order the paint cans where placed on the stage. 68.104.32.156 (talk) 22:05, 9 May 2012 (UTC)bill mason (billmason6363@yahoo.com)   las vegas
