Carolyn Soutar in her biography of Dave Allen describes a meal at The Golden Century in Sydney "which ended up with Patrick Hockey and Dave taking all the clutter off the table and turning the tablecloth into this huge piece of art.

By 1988 he counted amongst his clients Alan Bond, Susan Renouf, and Kerry Packer.<ref name=":4" /> On his own account Hockey said he enjoyed the social life, "though I don't go out half as much as people think and for half the year [at Beaudesert] I'm off the drink and I work seven days a week." Asked if "reverse snobbery" had impeded his career he conceded that it had in artistic circles, but not monetarily, and that "in the bush" his success was admired.<ref name=":4" />

Hockey's later focus was on interiors, still lifes with sea shells and, inspired by a commission from Susan Renouf, floral works.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Bonhams |title=Travel & Exploration Sale |date=8 June 2023 |publisher=Bonhams Auction House |location=Knightsbridge}}</ref><ref name=":8">{{Cite news |last=Dennis |first=Anthony |date=3 February 1990 |title=Brush with fame |work=The Age |page=230}}</ref> He was art director for the film ''The Last Tango with Rudolph Valentino'' set in Sydney in 1975,<ref>{{cite news |url=http://nla.gov.au/nla.news-article55463541 |title=Valentino revisited... |newspaper=The Australian Women's Weekly |volume=49 |issue=31 |location=Australia, Australia |date=20 January 1982 |access-date=27 October 2025 |page=11 |via=National Library of Australia}}</ref> about a woman so obsessed with Valentino that she kept a shrine to him in her house.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Cilento |first=Diane |title=My nine lives |publisher=Viking |year=2006 |isbn=978-0-7181-4925-3 |location=London |page=435}}</ref>

== Reception == Terry Ingram, noting in Art & Australia the doldrums in the art market of early 1990 remarked that, nevertheless:<blockquote> [...] isolated rashes of red stickers went up around Sydney and Melbourne galleries, mostly because the dealers had the good sense to show recession-proof work — pretty, escapist pictures or works by artists who have a special following, or both: Patrick Hockey, at Holdsworth Galleries and Frances Jones, who paints bowls of fruit, at Eddie Glastra's.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Ingram |first=Terry |date=Winter 1990 |title=Art Market |journal=Art and Australia |volume=27 |issue=4 |page=608}}</ref></blockquote> Columnist Sally Loane remarked in 1992 that "to his detractors in the gossipy art and social world, Patrick Hockey was a dilettante, his art dismissed as decorative. The serious art circles scoffed at his constant appearances in the social pages and the fact that his art was almost always linked with the rich and famous."<ref name=":7" /> To interviewer Geraldine O'Brien he remarked that he knew:<blockquote>...artists who say they only sell to the public collections — which, of course, is where posterity lies. But I'm not part of the power clique of the art world, of the curators and critics, though I think I am in a way as serious as someone more obviously 'serious'. I just paint what I fancy, what I feel like painting. I'm not sure that 'seriousness' is necessary for an artist, anyway. I've not the time to do all that suffering.<ref name=":4" /></blockquote>Comparing Hockey and John Nixon's 1988 exhibitions at Holdsworth Galleries and Roslyn Oxley's respectively, ''Sydney Morning Herald'' critic John McDonald defended Hockey against a perceived lack of 'seriousness':<blockquote>It's quite easy to sympathise Hockey's ideas about 'seriousness'. Since he works hard at his painting, since many people buy his works and obviously get pleasure from them, who is to say that Hockey is any less serious an artist than Nixon? Is a work automatically more serious if it looks cheap instead of expensive, if it pays lip-service to modernist heroes like Malevich and is accompanied by a catalogue statement chiefly distinguished by its contempt for syntax? The difference is obviously one of milieu, yet in his hedonism and his taste for decorative painting, Hockey is being undeniably true to himself. He doesn't pretend to be changing the world and would probably find Nixon's brand of pseudo-spiritual asceticism quite repugnant. Where Hockey wants to please the viewer, Nixon sets out to chasten him or her.<ref name=":9">{{Cite news |last=McDonald |first=John |date=20 February 1988 |title=To please or chasten—it's a matter of belief |work=The Sydney Morning Herald |page=75}}</ref></blockquote>McDonald's review, as Tim Bonyhady notes,<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Bonyhady |first=Tim |date=August 1999 |title=Bludgeon, dirk and grease |journal=Eureka Street |volume=9 |issue=6 |pages=34–40 |doi=10.3316/ielapa.991111985 |doi-broken-date=27 October 2025 |issn=1036-1758 }}</ref> brought protests, ignored by ''The Herald,'' from Tony Bond, the curator of contemporary art at the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and Paul Foss and Paul Taylor of ''Art and Text.'' Artist Mike Parr published a rejoinder in ''Agenda'' in August, finding that Hockey was 'strictly incommensurable' against the superior Nixon, and a rumour spread that a dead cockroach had been mailed to McDonald, who accused Nixon.

== Personal life == thumb|Nindooinbah Homestead (2009) thumb|Reina Irmer (n.d.). Walkway leading to the teahouse on the lake at Nindooinbah homestead, Beaudesert district, Queensland. On 10 March 1983 Hockey married (Beryl) Margaret (de Burgh Persse) in front of guests Tim Storrier, Donald Friend, model Penelope Tree, Sir lan and Lady Potter, Leo Schofield, Caroline and John Laws, actress Carmen Duncan, Harry M. Miller, jeweller Tony White and former Brisbane Lord Mayor Sallyanne Atkinson. Artist Donald Friend described how for the wedding ceremony:<blockquote>We drove to Beaudesert and out a few miles to the St Johns Church, Mundoolun. The occasion was one that had been much gossiped about for months—the marriage of Patrick Hockey (a rich very gay society man—a sort of butterfly in a Rolls Royce: a terribly fashionable painter; an amiable sort of nonsense person) to Margaret de Burgh Persse, heiress to a vast fortune and one of the great pioneer cattle stations. It was a most elaborate affair. Three hundred guests had been invited to the ceremony and to the reception afterwards at a marvellous old-style homestead [Nindooinbah] kept up still as it would have been fifty years ago, set in a grand garden embowered in azaleas.<ref>{{Cite book |last1=Friend |first1=Donald |title=The Donald Friend Diaries: chronicles & confessions of an Australian artist |last2=Britain |first2=Ian |publisher=The Text Publishing Company |year=2010 |isbn=978-1-921656-70-5 |location=Melbourne |page=427}}</ref></blockquote>They settled in and restored her ancestral home Nindooinbah House in Beaudesert.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Hockey |first=Patrick |date=January 1987 |title=Nindooinbah House: An 1850s Australian homestead is an oasis untouched by time |journal=House and Garden |volume=159 |issue=1 |pages=150–160}}</ref> The couple spent periods apart, and his bisexuality was neither kept secret nor broadcast.
