About The Artwork
And You Made Me Smile - Original Canvas size 18x24 (overall framed size is approximately 24x30) …and for a little while, I was falling in love. Keeping up with the same style that I’ve been using, but of a subject that I’ve tended to shy away from because of the complexity and little room for error. With a brush, it would be much easier, but with a palette knife in an impasto style, the paint is more difficult to control. Especially when it comes to blending colors. I’m happy that I pushed myself through it and I’m very pleased with the result. Enough so, that I felt the subject needed a name to have more of an identity. I love the name Ariel, so I’ll go with that. The title of the painting is a play on the A Flock Of Seagulls song (Space Age Love Song). The deep grooves in the paint from the palette knife make the painting change appearance in different shades of light. This is one of the greatest benefits of painting like this. Two people can be looking at the painting at the same time, but get a different perspective, depending on the angle of the light.

Patrick Riley is a Kentucky-based artist & photographer. His oil paintings embrace abundant layers of paint applied mostly through the use of a palette knife in an impasto-type style. He often uses pigments from natural elements of the Earth in his paint to pay his respect to nature. Patrick’s distinctive style combines both symmetry and chaos. His use of bold and vivid colors arranged throughout the painting in heavy patterns form a breathtaking composition. Patrick grew up painting and drawing with a distinguishing talent for capturing objects from a unique perspective. “I want the observer to view it as if they are seeing the subject matter for the first time,” Riley explains. “I feel that you need to believe before you can see, and believing that this particular dreamlike world exists allows me to see it and paint it,” he adds. Being an admirer of poetry and a poet himself, Patrick likes to incorporate the use of poems & prose into his artwork. “The painting has so much more to say,” he states. “I don’t feel like the story ends when the last drop of paint hits the canvas.” With this being the case, most of Riley’s work also consist of an analogous story that belongs to each piece, usually inscribed onto the back of the canvas.
