I enjoy working in this bigger size, and the colours are bright on this paper. And it’s just the right absorbency for a raw paper.
This project is about colours and moving it around with water. The monks act as a focus (as in life …) and I get to reinvent the cloth they wear. I got really carried away with this project and the whole thing came together rather quickly.
The close up pictures are to give a better sense of the paint, paper and the brush stroke. Then there’s the work in progress and me with the painting for perspective.

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.
