ABOUT THE ARTWORK

acrylic colour on thai handmade mulberry paper(kada sa) , deckled edge, 10 x 13.5 in., 25 x 34 cm The painting is inspired by typical street scenes I see in Bangkok , I place I regularly return to. Jatujak Weekend Market is a major attraction in Bangkok, Thailand… It is said to be the largest outdoor market in the world. It is certainly busy, crowded, dynamic, animated, gentle and friendly. I find the place very inspiring for painting ideas. My focus here is on the body language, dining and resting activity, and the contrast with the background clothing shop, reflects well the nature of this market. Here I use a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It’s a 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. My paper supplier has her shop at this market as well…. The close up picture is to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting. Then there’s the work in progress and me with the painting for perspective.

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.
