Jim Thompson's "Enter the Dragon"




I saw this sample today, and it took my breath away.  It is not in stock in the US, only in Thailand. Special Order only.. These iphone pictures don't even do it justice; the colors are more brilliant-- oranges, turquoise, yellows, a brown background. It is very "painterly", meaning:

 there are visible brushstrokes, the result of applying paint in a less than completely controlled manner, generally without closely following carefully drawn lines. Works characterized as either painterly or linear can be produced with any painting media, oils, acrylics, watercolors, gouache, etc.  *

I am seriously thinking of just framing a yard of it over my bed.
