Horizontal blackness could suggest hills in darkness, but the viewer must decide.
About the Artist
As a child in the 1950s, Patricia Oblack sat in front of the television and learned to draw with Jon Gnagy’s New Television Art Instruction Book. The exercise led to a love of art, and in 1962 she begged her mother to purchase lessons from Art Instruction, Inc. in Minneapolis. Within a few weeks, a box arrived with art supplies, including her first palette knife. Patricia finished every lesson, and was in good company–another student of the school was renowned Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. From that humble beginning, Patricia became a lifelong artist, currently creating dark, earthy abstracts, which she paints with the same palette knife from childhood.

Patricia builds her compositions intuitively with palette knives, blending colors and developing texture directly on the surface of her panels. She poetically describes the composition of this painting as "greys and black spreading apart to let in the sunset."
