Story behind the painting (Part 13) - By the water's Edge,2001.

In 2001, I had an office on the second floor of a shoplot located at Park City Phase 1 along Tun Ahmad Zaidi Road, Bintulu.  The shoplot was bought years earlier in the early 1990's.   In 2001,  I had plenty of contracting jobs at hand and there was always plenty of surplus emulsion paints in the store. On one  fine day i.e. 12th of December, I found time to undertake an impressionistic painting with whatever surplus paints I had in hand after painting the office walls at the first floor of the shop.

 

The board on which I painted was also an used panel with white formica surface which I thought was very novel to work on and large enough for a big-sized work. Both suited my motto of 'nothing should go to waste'.

The idea that kept returning to my head during that creative day  was the theme ' by the water's edge'. 

The painting was worked out the whole day and had it initialed once I thought the outcome of the work achieved what I originally  intuited about the theme.

"By the Water's Edge" is the largest piece of abstract work I have done so far measuring  87 cm x 208 cm.
