ABOUT THE ARTWORK

acrylic colour on handmade thai mulberry paper, 9.5 x 13.5, 24.5 x 34.5 cm. One of Singapore’s classic landmarks. I’ve done other variations on this theme. It’s an ever popular icon of the city state. Here I have painted on handmade paper for the textural parchment effect, the style more impressionist and not illustration. The paper used here is a traditional paper handmade in Thailand. It’s a thick parchment like paper, strong yet pliable. I have the paper made to this size to get the deckled edges which adds to the textural effect. Please note for the print version the uneven ‘deckled edges ‘ are cropped. The close up picture is to be able to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting. Then there’s the work in progress and that’s me with the painting for perspective. Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Maybe a storyboard collage from a recent travel, your house or street? Contact me.

I'm Canadian born now residing in Malaysia. I've been working professionally as an artist since 1980 ish… time flies. I have exhibited my paintings in Vancouver and coastal B.C., Bangkok, Singapore & Malaysia, areas I’ve lived in over time. Now I do it all online. I’ve traveled extensively over the years and you’ll see that people, places and cultures are a recurring theme in my art. I attach importance to papers I use for my paintings. Some are done on acid free watercolour papers, from 180lb weight to 300lb. I also use handmade parchment type papers. These are thick yet pliable, strong, with deckled edge that add to the look of my paintings. I’m still a passionate guy. I’m passionate about life and people, passionate about art and painting. And I feel really at my best when I’m putting all these things down on paper. I only wish I had more time to delve into all these activities of mine. But I work with what I have. My health sucks so I’m slowing down. And there's more: book illustration, portrait, comic strip, caricature. I also work with camera and computer, to create the images brush strokes just can't deliver. So follow my brush work and hopefully you’ll find that special painting meant just for you.
