About The Artwork
Forgotten Lore - Original Oil Painting Canvas size 16x12 (overall framed size is approximately 22x18) Forgotten Lore? Hardly… I painted this from a reference photo of some of my Edgar Allan Poe books, along with a sunflower. Most of the painting was done with a palette knife in the same style that I’m accustomed to. The only part of the painting that required a brush was the lettering on the books. I also wanted to test some vignetting on the painting, so I gently brushed this in also. I can’t even begin to explain how difficult it was to do the lettering on top of the texture. A lot of my oil paintings are very difficult to photograph because of the texture. This was probably one of the most difficult to photograph to date. The texture, along with the colors were quite the challenge. Please be sure to check out all photographs of the painting for a better look. The painting is mounted in an upcycled wooden frame with a built-in linen liner. I like the way the liner plays with the vignetting of the painting. The contrast between each is exactly what 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.
