watercolour on mulberry paper
45.7 cm x 30.5 cm (18" x 12")

This painting is ages old. It's a failed experiment in painting with watercolour on mulberry paper. Because the paint spreads almost uncontrollably throughout the paper, it's difficult to draw with any precision. This is, of course, also part of the charm of watercolour on mulberry paper. Sometimes it's charming, sometimes not.

If you detect the slight, or not so slight, influence of Emil Nolde, you are not entirely mistaken.
