Original artwork description:

1986. Colour sumi inks (Japan) on bleached rice paper. 11.5 x 8 in., 29.5 x 20 cm.
This is panel 5 in a series of 12 I call ‘The mirror’, a project I did oh so long ago! My materials then were different, and I was able to work with this absorbent rice parchment art paper without preliminary sketch or reference lines. This is all paint brushed on a blank page. This can be purchased as a complete set of 12 or purchased singly or just a selection from the 12. For now all are available.
This is a reflective work of me and my interpretations of what I was seeing around me in a new town. It was my first exploration to a city new to me, Vancouver BC. Here I just let the creative abstract loose. This was done in a coffee shop somewhere downtown Vancouver. Too bad I didn’t have a camera in those days to get a photo of me at work, grinding paint sticks in a wet stone…
The close up picture is to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.
Please note that you can purchase up to 3 paintings of this same size or smaller to be included in 1 order and pay only 1 shipping fee. Packaging for my small paintings like this one is sealed in plastic sleeve, sealed in a padded hard plastic file case, and in an envelope.
