The Red Kimono

Chandra, this reminds me of the cut-outs that Matisse did. I like the effect. Is the white a cut-out over an acrylic painting? However you have done it it works!

Many Thanks, Janet! Yes, it is exactly that....a figure cut out placed over an abstract acrylic ink painting. I thought the patterning had a very oriental feel to it , and thought I would try the cut out idea.You are the first person to notice this aspect of it, or at least the first to mention it....well spotted! Glad you feel it works!!

Great piece Chandra, lovely design and application.

A stroke of genius Chandra wonderful

This is lovely Chandra, so original.

Innovative in design and application Chandra....like it very much.

Unusual but very effective Chandra. Lovely.

Good one but I particularly like the way you have used the inks - great technique.

Great idea, great design Chandra.

Many Thanks Alan, Dennis, Jenny, Fiona, Sarah, Michael, and Carole for your kind comments....so pleased that you all like the design .
