This is the third volume of paintings by artist Patrick J. Leach. It is divided into three parts to accommodate the large file sizes for online publication. I hope you enjoy viewing these works of art as much as I did creating them. Since becoming a painter, this adds a major dimension to my life that I did not even notice was missing before I began.The beauty of publishing an art book is thatI can allow the paintings to speak for themselves. Theyhave titles for identification purposes, but in my worldthe titles are after thoughts, often scribbled on the backof canvases when the painting itself is still wet.However, I am also a writer, and cannot resistthe urge to provide a brief introduction to this work.I love the process of painting. I love working withthe paint, the brushes, the canvas, and in many of my paintingsthe other materials I combine with the paint. I also love goingplaces and collecting things and ideas to include.When I paint, I listen to music and tune outthe outside world. I sometimes can achieve almost ameditative state of concentration, as I am sure mostartists can relate to. Most often I let go of preconceptionsand allow the process to go where it will. I am oftensurprised by the final outcome on canvas. I am verygrateful to be an artist.My artistic work is the product of personalexperimentation, intensive study of other people'sart, and a genuine desire to be the best artist I amcapable of being. Though well educated, I have madeit a purposeful act to not take classes on how or whatto paint.As you can imagine, this book covers only a fractionof the totality of my paintings. Please enjoy.
