"Michael Carroll - American Celtic." Michael Carroll - American Celtic. N.p., n.d. Web. 14 Feb. 2013.
In this painting O'Loughlin uses a repetitious swirling pattern that
creates a rhythmn and movement throughout the piece. The variety in size of the
individual curves of the design create a much more interesting piece
than had the curves been restricted to a uniform size.
Similarly,the circular designs that are contained within the
swirling pattern are both repetitious as well as varied. Each of the areas
are in the shape of a circle however, the detailed patterns inside of them as
well as the size used are also varied. At the same time the arrangement
of them creates a harmonious composition that unifies each
of the individual pieces. The color palette used mainly consists
of the complementary colors orange and blue. This creates a striking piece
that is hard not to notice immediately. The repetition of these two colors throughout
the entire piece nicely ties together every element that O'Loughlin has used.
