acrylic colours on handmade thai mulberry paper(kada sa), deckled edges, 9.5 x 13.25 in, 24 x 33 cm This kind of building, the 'shop house', is a common structure found in South East Asia and certainly in Malaysia & Singapore. The ones left in Singapore have mostly now been beautifully restored as in this case. The character comes out in the old style windows and the seeming random design from one shop house to the next. My paintings on this subject are mainly of this old architectural style I found in Singapore. Here I am working more sketch like, keeping the old look while creating a lively street scene in the front. Originally these buildings were white washed. The windows had no glass just bars and shutters, painted blue. The shops on the ground floor had bamboo curtains lowered to keep out the sun, now they have awnings. The painting is done on a traditional mulberry paper handmade in Thailand. It’s a parchment like paper, strong yet pliable. I have the paper made to this size to get the deckled edges which adds to the textural effect. Note for the print the uneven ‘deckled edges’ have been cropped away. There’s a close up photo to get a better sense of the texture and brushwork. Then there’s pictures of the work in progress, and me with the painting for perspective. Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Maybe a historical landmark, your home , a storyboard collage from a recent travel, or event? 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.

Malaysia
I'm Canadian born now residing in Malaysia. I've been working professionally as an artist since 1980 ish… time flies. I have exhibited my paintings in Vancouver and coastal B.C., Bangkok, Singapore & Malaysia, areas I’ve lived in over time. Now I do it all online. I’ve traveled extensively over the years and you’ll see that people, places and cultures are a recurring theme in my art. I attach importance to papers I use for my paintings. Some are done on acid free watercolour papers, from 180lb weight to 300lb. I also use handmade parchment type papers. These are thick yet pliable, strong, with deckled edge that add to the look of my paintings. I’m still a passionate guy. I’m passionate about life and people, passionate about art and painting. And I feel really at my best when I’m putting all these things down on paper. I only wish I had more time to delve into all these activities of mine. But I work with what I have. My health sucks so I’m slowing down. And there's more: book illustration, portrait, comic strip, caricature. I also work with camera and computer, to create the images brush strokes just can't deliver. So follow my brush work and hopefully you’ll find that special painting meant just for you.
