Patt Scrivener is theThird Place Winner in the Federation of Canadian Artists Landscape Show

I am so excited to announce that I placed third overall in the recent Federation of Canadian Artists Landscape show with Golden Sunset. It is a 16 x 16" gallery wrapped canvas and is for sale.
I textured the canvas to start and then used a combination of acrylic ink and Golden fluid acrylics to build up layers. I used a metallic copper thread at the horizon line and it acted like a resist to hold the ink in.

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.

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.

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.

Red and Gold

Here is an abstract I just finished. It is 12" x 12" on a gallry wrapped canvas with painted black edges. It has some Golden glass bead gel and Micaceous Iron Oxide gel to add texture. The red squares and rectangle are handmade paper collaged on and then the red acrylic on top. It has an earthy masculine feel to it.

Abstracted Realism

Mystic Mountain

Inspired by the rockies and a moody sky this very aboriginal looking woman appeared in my painting.

Deep in Thought

This painting was totally intuitive, as I was splashing some colour onto my canvas I saw this face appear.

Mysterious

Once again this face intuitively appeared out of an abstract I woas doing, check out her eye is was a stamp from Africa that I had put inbefore she appeared, the postmark her pupil with the white of the stamp above it. Her hat is enhanced with cheesecloth.








I tried to be abstract!!
