ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Whatever the pose, body language is always a fascinating subject. It should come as no surprise since it is to me the first and loudest form of communication. The nude as a subject, to me is uncluttered body language and I am looking to draw the body’s expression only. Here I want that body expression in a brown and green contrast with plenty of bold brush strokes. Acrylic colour on handmade thai mulberry paper, deckled edge, 21 x 31 in., 55 x 80 cm. The paper I use is a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. The resulting paper is a thick parchment paper, strong yet pliable. Here for the print I have cropped away the uneven ‘deckled’ edges which are with the original. The close up picture is of higher resolution to be able to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting. Then there’s a glimpse of the studio with the work in progress. Interested to have your idea painted in this style? 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.
