Through the eyes of NEIL PATTERSON -- OPA Master
Passionate about being an artist, Neil developed his alla prima painting style which requires him to work quickly before the first layers of paint dry. Old barns, wildlife, prairie and mountain landscapes, forests and lakes, still lifes and florals are all part of Neil’s repertoire of subject matter that is produced in his rural Alberta home studio. Since 1974, Canada House Gallery has been proud to have represented Neil Patterson, OPAM.
"When people ask me what inspires or motivates me to paint, I simply tell them “I love painting.” Painting to me is like being a kid again; I get to play, but now it’s with paint instead of toys. I like how the paint moves on the canvas, how it can be a million different colors, what happens when you set one color next to another and what happens when they’re mixed together."
