Artist Comments
As part of artist Patrick O'Boyle's ongoing Ethereal Abstraction series, he painted electric orange against a bright green background and accented with blue. "I paint standing up with the painting lying flat so I can control the paint application better," explains Patrick. "Using fluid acrylics, ink, and collage papers, I apply layers & layers of color. Scraping, scratching & painting back into it to reveal subtle texture, color, shape & patterns."

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.
