This composition is inspired by and based on photos I took at Jatujak weekend market, Bangkok's massive outdoor market. This time I wanted to capture the amazing clutter and congestion in the inside lanes of that market. There are so many more of these ideas from this massive market I want to put to paper….
I use a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It is a thick parchment paper, strong yet pliable. I have the paper made to this size to get the deckled edges which adds to the textural effect. Then each page has its own irregular shape which shows as in the base on this painting … my supplier for this paper also has her shop at JJ market…
The second picture allows you to see the painting with the deckled edges. The close up picture is of higher resolution to be able to get a better feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting. Then there’s me with the painting for perspective.
Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Maybe a storyboard collage from a recent travel? Contact me.
About framing this painting.
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.

I'm Canadian born now residing in Malaysia. I've been working professionally as a freelance artist since the 1980's … time flies.
I’ve travelled extensively over the years and you’ll see that people, places and cultures are a recurring theme in my art, as are nudes, architecture,orchids and nature. My love of tropical vistas is also reflected in the bright colours used. I work mainly with acrylic colours on paper, also handmade parchment papers. You’ll see that over time I’ve gone from representational to bold expression. Then there's book illustration, portrait, comic strip, graphite sketch and caricature. I also works with camera and computer, to create textured images brush strokes just can't deliver.
Since 1980 I’ve exhibited my paintings in Vancouver, Canada, Bangkok, Singapore & Malaysia, places where I’ve resided. More recently though my works can be viewed on online galleries … which allows me less interruptions to my creative time.
