Ready for the Party, Mixed Media Painting by Patt Scrivener

This is one of my paintings in my show at Qualicum Art Supply Gallery.  I painted a wild background and then painted over with a blue gesso misture.  I then scraped back into it and revealed the tulips in the vase. 
I added a few details to finish it off.

Copper Fusion -Mixed Media Abstract


I started this piece by building up textures with gel medium.  I then dropped inks into it and let them run.  The last step is letting go of some areas and defining the focal area.  I added some opaques and black.  It is 16" x 16" painted on a gallery wrapped canvas.  Contact me if yu are interested in purchasing this piece.

Chair for African Grandma's -NanGo Grandma's Nanaimo Charity Fundraiser


This is the chair I painted for the Grandmothers for Grandmothers Nanaimo group.  It is a bit whimsical - entitled the Joyful Goddess.  It has words of inspiration and encouragment written on it as well.  I sincerely hope that it brings much pleasure to who ever wins it at the auction.  I am grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to such a great cause. Go Grandma's Go -you rock!!

Deserted In Blue, Photo transfer on Canvas


This is a photo I took many years ago enroute from Edmonton to Saskatoon.  It is a deserted convent, so much history and all a bit eery. This is on a small 6" square gallery wrapped canvas. I have transferred the image and then painted and stamped into and around the photo transfer.

Life is Not a Spectator Sport, Mixed Media and Collage


This is a 12' Square gallery wrapped canvas.  I started it by gluing down images from magazines with nothing in mind.  I then started painting over the magazine collage and this runner appeared with a spectator in the background. Thought I would just run with it!!  Hence the title.

Ocean Serenity, Imitating Encaustic with Acrylics

This is a 8"x 8" gallery wrapped canvas that I tried to imitate the look of encaustic and am pleased with the results. I have several layers of gel medium built up and finished it with the soft gloss gel to give it a clouded effect. It has a lot of depth and I love the colours.
