ABOUT THE ARTWORK

After The Rain At Cathedral Rock - Original Canvas size 16x12 (overall framed size is approximately 23x19) Painting #2 of a five piece Sedona rock formation series Cathedral Rock with a setting sun, after an afternoon rain. This is #2 of a five piece series that I’m doing of famous Sedona rock formations. This view of Cathedral Rock is from Baldwin Trail. Having hiked around Cathedral Rock on this particular afternoon and getting soaked by several heavy rains along the way, we rounded a corner near Oak Creek to be met by this beautiful site. I wanted to bring the feeling of the entire day into this single image. It’s done in an impasto/pointillism style with heavy dabs of paint applied to the canvas. The painting is mounted inside a beautiful golden frame that I lightly stained with a hickory finish.

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. Having lived across the United States, from the desert to the mountains, from the coastline and now the bluegrass of Kentucky, Patrick integrates his passion and love for the earth into each painting, photograph, or poem. His photography is continually used by prominent companies for various marketing purposes, while his artwork is included in numerous private art collections throughout the country.
