Ethereal Abstraction 30, Abstract Painting

Artist Comments
Artist Patrick O'Boyle expresses torrents of bright orange and indigo in this abstract composition. He applies layers of color and then scrapes and scratches them for various consistencies. "I paint standing up with the canvas lying flat to control the paint application better," says Patrick. Water droplets saturate the bright tones, mapping uniquely interesting 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.
