Artist Patrick O'Boyle depicts a festive horse from the carnival carousel. Vibrant colors and geometric shapes make up its quirky structure. Water splashes on the surface display alluring and unique patterns. Patrick paints it abstractly, from a nostalgic childhood memory.
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.
