The Shamrock Pub

This Shamrock Pub of London paint by numbers by Marilyn Dunlap pops up with the bold and vibrant Irish colors toned down by the grey pavement and stone building. It is a vivid and realistic recreation of a street corner pub.

It represents a classic scene along the streets of Ireland, the famous Irish Pubs. The pub culture in Ireland involves more than just drinking. They are social melting pots with friendship and camaraderie at its core.

The original creator, Marilyn Dunlap, shows her love for detail in this painting. Everything is in its perfect place in the painting. The barstools inside at the bar. The blooming flowers adding a pop of color and life to the entire painting. A keg used as a flower stand that symbolizes the Irish’s love for beer. The pub's drink menu that lists down classic Irish favorites. The flag and the bar sign.

This vintage paint by numbers is the spirit of European warmth and cafes and pubs all around the cities. The artist uses very bold and radiant colors to represent this very realistic pub. It is a depiction of real-life scenes that radiate a feeling of nostalgia. 

Marilyn Dunlap is an American artist living in a small town in the United States (America), her passion for art and history is greatly reflected in this masterpiece. Her paintings transform something simple into a magical piece of art. She has a sharp eye to get that perfect shot and turn it into a painting, this captures greatly the spirit of the area and transmits it to her viewers. It is a very seductive sort of painting with bright and uplifting colors. Marilyn Dunlap works with oil, acrylics, and watercolors but she has now decided to stick with acrylic because she can add more details into her paints. 

Can you spot the cat in her other paintings? Look for her little black cat in all her work, wandering through the alleys and shops all around Europe.
