About The Artwork
The Solitude Of Sunflowers - Original Canvas size 24x18 (overall framed size is approximately 34x28) A vase of sunflowers and their never-ending beauty. Note: This painting was featured as part of the first installment of the Team Kentucky Gallery (by the Governor & First Lady), and was displayed in the Kentucky Capitol building from July 2021 - December 2021. I’ve been experimenting with various styles but end up coming back to the same style which you see here. This painting is also another example of where I begin painting one way, but resort back to what I think looks the best, or at least what the painting is telling me it wants to be. The entire painting was done with a palette knife, using thickened paint to build the needed layers. With the narrow palette knife that I use, the painting has thousands upon thousands of grooves that flow in different directions. Each groove allows the light to reflect in different ways. With this interaction between the paint and light, the painting can look one way in the light of morning and entirely different in the evening. I spent well over 100+ hours from start to finish on this painting in order to get the exact look I was after.

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.
