Original artwork description:

Again an exercise in skin tones, composition and body language & expressions.
Here I was attracted to the pose from the shoulders up. But this is also a forerunner to a larger painting with a fascinating construct.
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 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 of higher resolution to be able to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting. 3rd picture is the work in progress.
Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Contact me.
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.
