Mid day Painting

acrylic colour on thai handmade mulberry paper(kada sa) , deckled edges, 9.75 x 13.5 in., 25.5 x 34.5cm 7 stages of day, abstract . Every now and again I decide to work on this amazing thick parchment paper. Here ‘Mid day’ is the 3rd of 7 panels where I interpret the colours that make up a day. A horizontal line of light runs across the middle of each of 7 pieces thus uniting them, while each panel stands well on its own. The colours are applied in varying thicknesses for a creamy texture on the parchment paper. Available separately, or as a set (while still available), or in any combination. Each panel looks good all by itself. Painted on a traditional mulberry 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 I have had to crop away the uneven edges. The close up picture is to get a better feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting. Then there’s the work in progress, and me with the complete set for perspective, and a bit of humour…. About framing. When considering framing bear in mind to not cover up the deckled edges. This is one of the specialties of the painting, one of its charms. It is best displayed framed with a cut mat board around the painting so as not to cover the edges, thereby putting some space between the art and the glass and bringing depth to the framed art. It can also be framed simply with backing board and pressed with glass over the front without causing damage.
