Why my paintings sell
When you combine the sublime power of the figure and allow its soul to echo into the landscape - it nourishes the soul of the viewer.
The beach and coastal rock pools are a superb forum - or stage - to really allow that to resonate in all its glory.
When you capture that with all its subtlety - it allows the artist to come closer to a sense of creation.
Below are examples of my work with the full spectrum of colour; celebrating nature and the figure.
Investment of a giclee
"Giclee" - a hand embellished reproduction on canvas
As an artist I am turning my major works into giclees - a reproduction on canvas and then embellishing those reproductions by hand until the reproduction is as unique as the original artwork.
The investor/purchaser receives a hand written confirmation signed by the artist confirming the giclees authenticity.

About Patrick Russell
Patrick is 50 years of age, and when he was 15 years old he left the Kings School to study for four years at the Julian Ashton Art School.
He then spent three years painting 'On-Site' in the bush at places like Mudgee, Capertee and Sofala.
The next 12 years were spent painting his favourite place, Balmoral, on-site, as well as many rock pools and beaches of Sydney.
Patrick has had 10 major Solo Exhibitions (with every canvas from those exhibitions being sold).
"Painting and composing with the figure and landscape all of my life - the inspiration is endless - from movement, form, colour - and the light. Whether it be a model swimming and relaxing with abandon amidst the splendour of a coastal rock pool - or reclining in the artist's garden or studio, I experience a sense of awe."
To borrow a quote - "Nature is inexhaustible - life is wonderful."
His views of Sydney Harbour and beaches, Mosman Bay and Balmoral Beach bring the light and movement of the water and sunlight to life, and his beautiful country scenes reflect the tranquility we all enjoy.
A recent painting trip to Paris and Claude Monet's Water Garden at Giverny has also led to major works.
Letter to the Model
Hello , I hope this letter finds you well.
The comfort and safety of the model is paramount .
How I operate is - if the model appreciates my creations - the paintings , we arrange for the flight and travel coordination of the model to my studio at Unit 4 , 56 Court Street, Mudgee, New South Wales , Australia .
The accommodation of the model is comfortable and secure .
The initial sales - the first sales of the paintings that I paint reimburse the model for expenses - the flight and accommodation .
As I sell my paintings - and yes I sell everything I paint - for $ 2800.00 for a 19" x 25" and above , which is a mainstream gallery price , It would only take the sale of two paintings to reimburse the model for those expenses .
If the model wanted to celebrate those paintings , ( of the model ) , to her audience, Instagram as an example - then that would be welcome - which because I sell everything I paint - the model would be assured of being reimbursed the expenses incurred for modeling for Patrick Russell .
Basically , the model would have no trouble selling the initial two paintings to her audience.
The paintings would also be a celebration of the model as creation .
The model combined , painted with the landscape - creation .
As the artist intends on capturing , expressing the grace of the model , lady , as creation .
I personally would not have photo's, images taken of myself for any media creation - as I let the paintings speak for themselves .
Naturally the artist has copyright control of the paintings painted , but it would be a terrific idea to celebrate those paintings to the model's audience .
When it comes to modeling - my communication with the model is plutonic and professional and as I say - their comfort and security is paramount .
Modeling for Pat is a fairly simple exercise - I work with a digital camera , utilising props and simple garments . As an example - an orange Japanese cotton kimono - for an oriental influence that impressionists employ for their paintings- creations . As an exquisite experience for the model celebrating the grace of the female model and landscape .
Generally waiting for direct sunshine to envelope the model - as creation - that is then painted into a landscape at the studio .
I have had decades of experience as a plein air artist - painter - to achieve the true colours to the naked eye of the model and landscape - as an experience of the artist for the viewer of the painting - creation .
As an artist - my integrity and polite treatment of , with the model is paramount .
That goodwill is crucial for the artist and the artist's reputation - guaranteeing the ever present comfort and security of the model . Honour and integrity .
Also guaranteeing the financial reimbursement to the model for the initial expenses of the flight and accommodation of the model that will , can be so easily be achieved with the initial, first sale of the first two painting's of the model at a mainstream price - easily achieved price .
The model decides , makes up her own mind , as to weather to model or not by bearing witness to the paintings shown here - to imagine herself painted into the landscape by the artist .
To create material for paintings would take no more than 4 day's of working with the digital camera and props .
The area where the artist and model pose is completely secure , very private and importantly comfortable for the model at all times - paramount .
It takes 4 - 5 hours per day - with regular breaks .
If you are interested in modeling for myself as an artist - then you can either phone myself on +61 0434 571 914 or email myself on patrickrussellart@gmail.com .
You are welcome to ask any question you wish or are curious about .
For the artist , Patrick Russell , integrity is everything .
Pat's soul is not about the monoliths or these sculptures -
Pat's soul is about the honour of a man to be honest -
Which leads to awareness - therefore inspiration and purpose .
Pat is not a number , he is a free man .
Pat respects all people's perception of God . Pat wakes up at 5:30 and modern man , the American wakes up at 6:00 and the Australian wakes up at 5:30 .

The victim recorded the evidence .
Male prostitutes - who are peodophiles , rapists and sex traffickers with their NAZI smile - teeth in their head - playing God as they sex traffic 100's of 1000's of innocent people .

It is NAZI . Turning American men into Nazi prostitutes .
The victim recorded the evidence .
The rapists , peodophiles , male prostitutes and sex traffickers have been obliterated , annihilated and decimated .

Sex trafficking is a very serious crime .
The victim recorded the evidence .
They have been obliterated , annihilated and decimated .
Because of this they have capitulated , surrended in the victim's favour .
