Of Life, Time and Perseverance,
Gordon Tardio
(see more by this artist)
Of Life, Time and Perseverance, Sept. 1998
acrylic color on textured Thai handmade mulberry paper (kada sa), deckled edge, 21 x 31 in.,55 x 80 cm.
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 parchment 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.
This fantasy tree is inspired by my love of Bonsai plants.
