About the Item

Artist Comments
Artist Patrick O'Boyle draws inspiration from a childhood memory of going to the carnival. He paints an abstract interpretation of his jubilant experience. "The bright colors and lights always leave me in awe," says Patrick. He demonstrates these properties with bright and vivid colors applied with a palette knife.


About the Artist
Patrick O'Boyle primarily paints in a studio, rarely using reference material other than his own thoughts and dreams. He always paints in a series of five - at the end of the fifth painting he revisits and reworks all of them until he feels they're complete. Using extra-long handles on his brushes, Patrick paints at a distance from the canvas so he can see the works evolve as a whole from the one color he starts with to the vibrant array at the end.
