Original artwork description:

acrylic colour on thai handmade mulberry paper(kada sa) , deckled edge, 9.5 x 13.5 in., 24.5 x 34 cm
I’m always impressed and stimulated by the street scenes in Asian cities, in this case Bangkok. Here is a quick snapshot of this, my expressive interpretation. It works well on this parchment type paper.
I occasionally like to return to this traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It’s 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 be able to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.
Please note you can purchase up to 3 small paintings of this size in the 1 order to be included in 1 sipping 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.
