Evening Paddle
Patt Scrivener’s abstract painting “Evening Paddle” reimagines lilies floating on water with a 36 by 36-inch canvas filled with expressive acrylic textures and bold colour contrasts. Dominated by deep blues and purples, the background captures the serene water depth at dusk, providing a rich foundation for the painting’s abstracted lily forms. Pops of orange and yellow break through the darker hues, suggesting the warm light of evening reflecting on the water’s surface and adding vibrancy to the composition.
The artist’s brushwork is fluid and dynamic, lending a sense of movement to the lilies as they drift and ripple across the canvas. The overlapping colours and layered brushstrokes create a tactile quality that enhances the lilies' abstract, dreamlike nature. Each brushstroke appears intentional, blending seamlessly to evoke the natural motion of water interacting with delicate lily pads.
The composition balances abstraction and hints of organic forms, allowing viewers to recognize the lily shapes while interpreting the scene through their perspective. This captivating balance between structure and fluidity in Scrivener’s work captures the fleeting beauty of lilies on the water at dusk, immersing the viewer in a tranquil, abstract landscape.
