This charming, enthusiastic and prolific painter is a dream come true for a gallery such as Regalame as the work is so unique.
Patricia's love of her chosen home and consequently subject matter are so apparent in her work. She suggests more with color and shape than a photograph. It's the essence that is captured that catches the eye and then the heart.
As I watch people at her paintings I see exactly when the connection is made, the eyes light up, and I then know the paintings has spoken to them.
The titles alone speak volumes. They capture the theme presented to Patricia when she saw what she needed to see to paint the image from her heart.
Many folks as about the faceless paintings. Directly from our wonderful artist about that:
“Whose face would I put? The paintings are deeply and profoundly about us all”.
“The people in my paintings make lives, truly graceful lives, out of the very simple things. Out of watching, observing and protecting each other. That is all we know about the rather private personalities that I paint. People going about the small business of life”.
How can we say more?
