Original artwork description:

Bangkok has so many different bus companies running the same public transport routes and all over. The mini ‘green’ bus is a classic. Originally a clean mini bus with sound system blaring, over time they started to look ever more run down and basic. Shortly after I finally got around to painting my impression of this typical Bangkok scene … these buses were taken off the road! Another line of mini buses has since replaced them.
The paper I use is a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It is a thick parchment type 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 to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.
Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Maybe a storyboard collage from a recent travel? Contact me.
Please note that you can purchase in one order up to 3 paintings of this same size (small painting category) or smaller to be included in the same 1 shipping fee.
Packaging for my small paintings like this one is sealed in plastic sleeve, in a padded hard plastic file case, and envelope.

Materials used:

acrylic colour on handmade Thai mulberry paper (kada sa), deckled edge
