Original artwork description:

There is some amazing old architecture in Bangkok. But it can be difficult to notice it sometimes when buildings are so crowded, and streets are even more so. Here I removed some of the obstructions such as overhead electric cables, crowds and the like. The textured paper adds to the old world charm in the painting.
The paper I use is a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. Mulberry leaves are used there to feed the silkworm in the silk industry, the sticks used to make the paper.The resulting paper is 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. The close up picture is of higher resolution to be able to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.
Please note that you can purchase in one order up to 6 paintings of this same size (small painting category) or smaller to be included in the same 1 shipping fee.
Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Maybe a storyboard collage from a recent travel, scenery, your favourite architecture? Contact me.
