Original artwork description:

Golden & Liquidex pro acrylic colour on thai handmade mulberry paper(kada sa) , deckled edges, 9.75 x 13.5 in., 25 x 34 cm
Too often flowers are presented in illustration form. Here I have gone completely the other way. This one is about purple, brush strokes, thick paint, abstract, mood…. I’m clearly in one of my choppy moods here!
I use a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It’s a thick parchment like paper, strong yet pliable. The paper is made to this size to get the unique, uneven deckled edges which adds to the overall 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, scenery or a family portrait? Contact me.
Please note that you can purchase in one order up to 3 paintings of same size or smaller to be included in the same 1 shipping fee.
About framing.
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.
