Copper Labyrinth by Patt Scrivener

Copper and circles are my latest passion.  (as well as the maple walnut ice cream that  I am eating to cool down in this 36 degree heat wave)  It is even to hot to paint! My studio looks like a tornado went through after getting ready for last weekends Originals Only Show. I haven't had the energy to get in there and regroup but tomorrow I will have to as I have submissions to get ready as well as an upcoming market.

Strata -Mixed Media Painting by Patt Scrivener

This is the new collage -many layers of built up mediums, fluid acrylics and paper. I have made most of the papers myself even adding coffee grounds to one of them to emulate rock.

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!!
