Not so 'Black Yao' afterall


I started and finished this acrylic painting while back whilst in SaPa, Vietnam. It was there I felt the energy to paint being surrounded my lush mountainous scenes, clean air, blue sky and a mediocre amount of quietness - having experienced this whilst staying at the 'Family Guesthouse' with my lovely 'Thoi's'.

So here we go, whilst here in a rainy Koh Chang, Thailand, I've decided to expose this piece of to you.

Inspired by the local ethnic minority tribes of Vietnam, this piece features a Black Yao lady twisted with bold colours. I love colour, as easily recognised as this may be.

You can witness my signature 'I can't fit the head on the page' style - this is clearly due to lack of planning and the spontaneity of combining and splashing a paintbrush whet with paint to paper.

Practise might make perfect x



Note: Please excuse the colours emanated from these photos - I can only blame a camera that lacks quality.
