Information
In 1922, Patrick Kilvington was born in the United Kingdom, and he came to Australia in 1950. He is known to be an Impressionist painter who specialized in oil painting and he concentrates mostly on rural and genre subjects. He attended various rodeos and country events where he studied, and he sketched and photographed the activities he was at. He was known as a badly behaved young man and he reflects this in many of his subjects. Kilvington's realism is depicted in his paintings, and it came from his familiarity with his subject matter. He became a full-time painter in 1971.[3]
