Artist Comments
Artist Patrick O'Boyle abstractly paints a dreamy mist of hot pink, mustard yellow, and violet with gentle strokes of emerald. He applies several coats of color and scrapes them for various consistencies. "I paint standing up with the canvas lying flat to control the paint application better," says Patrick. He mixes heavy body acrylics with fluids to attain a delicate and celestial balance.

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.
