Original artwork description:

Green , 2014
Acrylic colour on Thai handmade mulberry paper, deckled edges, 10.5 x 13.5 inches
Thanks to Ninanovita for her unusual selfies which inspired this painting!
Again an exercise in skin tones, composition and body language. And some fun with the hair.
I use a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It’s a parchment like paper, strong yet pliable. I have it made to this size to get the deckled edges which adds to the textural effect.
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 in studio.
Please note that you can purchase up to 3 paintings of this same size or smaller in 1 order to be included in the same 1 shipping fee. Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Contact me.

About framing this painting.
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.
