Neil Patterson - O.P.A.MImmerse yourself in the textural delight and rushes of colour that make up the world of Neil Patterson. During his career Neil has found considerable international success and was recognised for his talents by his peers; becoming the first Canadian to be awarded signature membership of the Oil Painters of America (O.P.A.). His notable skills were further celebrated and awarded by O.P.A when he gained the rare designation of Master Painter and the right to sign his paintings as O.P.A.M. We are thrilled to share this stunning collection of eight new works from this immensely talented oil painter.
"I paint mostly from memory. When I see a sky, I like to put that in my visual memory bank, and on another day I might add an appealing cluster of trees or an intriguing bend in the river. As I paint, I become a creator. I simply plant a tree or move a mountain in order to create a scene that pleases me visually. The final composition becomes a composite of many impressions. Each of us remembers things in a certain way that is our own reality, so I am painting things the way I remember them, perhaps not exactly as they were. " Neil Patterson
