About the Item
Artist Comments
Artist Patricia Oblack renders her compositions instinctively with the use of a palette knife. With dark and dusky hues of black, navy, and ochre, Patricia portrays a warm atmospheric image layered with marks and patterns. By pulling each color, she achieves a harmonious blend while creating an interesting textured surface. Sections of painted wood are attached to the lower edge suggesting small boats floating above the water.
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.
