About The Artwork

Sign on side of store, Galiano Is. 1990 Color sumi paints on handmade Nepal paper , 19.5 x 13.5 in, 49 x 34 cm. Classic signs can makes such good paintings … and this one also goes back a while! Part of a series of paintings I did when I was living on Galiano Island on Canada’s west coast back in the early 1990’s. My approach to painting at that time involved working on location… in this case in front of the rural island’s then famous grocery store. No preliminary sketches here, just paint on a blank page. The paper is a parchment paper, strong yet pliable, which I got in Nepal oh so long ago. There it is often used in print making there. Paper is unbleached. The inks are from ink sticks which I would grind on a wet stone on location, a very contemplative activity. After so many years the paint looks as fresh as when I first made the painting! Close up picture gives a better feel for the texture and brush stroke.

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.
