Original artwork description:

The full text continues ... A lifetime commitment to studying mind. The painting is inspired by my time spent in Myanmar. More precisely the time spent visiting monasteries there.
Here I was fortunate to find an old photo of the abbot, U Pinnathiri at Hsipaw Pagoda, where I spent some time in Northern Shan State.
The paper I use is a traditional mulberry 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 parchment paper, strong yet pliable. The close up picture is of higher resolution to be able to get a feel for the texture and brush strokes of the painting.
Interested to have your idea painted in this style? Maybe a portrait, family portrait, a storyboard collage from a recent travel, event or performance? Contact me.
Please note that you can purchase in one order up to 6 paintings of this same size (small painting category) or smaller to be included in the same 1 shipping fee.
