Samui Fisherman by Philippa Tomlin: Hysterious Art in Glasgow
Samui Fisherman
I was invited to paint this for a couple who love Thailand and visited a bar there for years. It had a mural of a fisherman. I said no!!!! Because I didn't want to copy art. They persuaded me to do it in my own style and that the mural and bar no longer exist. So here he is!
I really enjoyed this process, I stuck to black and white which is something I'd like to do more of and added a bit of colour to connect it to their interior design.
I am particularly proud of the smoke and his eyes... Or an that hand!
