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.

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.

One Lonely Tulip

This painting is built up with many layers of paint and collaged papers. I totally changed my colour pallet today to something more muted and dreamy.
