Sitting down at the market ...

(see more by this artist)
Sitting down at the market, to rest, to eat, Jatujak Weekend market, Bangkok, 2011, acrylic colour on thai handmade mulberry paper(kada sa) , deckled edge, 10 x 13.5 in., 25 x 34 cm
The painting is inspired by typical scenes I see at Jatujak weekend market, Bangkok , I place I regularly return to.
JJ market as it is often referred to, is said to be the largest outdoor market in the world, and still growing.
Mulberry paper is a traditional paper handmade in Thailand. Mulberry leaves are used there to feed the silkworm in the silk industry, the sticks used to make the paper.
The resulting paper is a thick tissue paper, solid 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 of higher resolution to be able to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.
