Presently, Mr. Hoyle is combining a marbleizing technique with his oil paintings.  He first floats a thin layer of dilute oil color on water, then disturbs the surface and lowers a canvas to pick up the pattern.  After several days drying a number of canvases, he chooses a pattern that inspires him and finishes the painting with brushes. 

In some instances the patterns in the dipped canvases show a relationship.  In the two examples below Gary Hoyle built on this relationship to produce these two tryptic aerial paintings.

Recently, Mr. Hoyle has limited his brushwork in attempting to bring structure out of chaos.  The example, Blue on Bedrock, has definition essentially because of the blue mussel image.
