YOUNG BOYS ENTERING MONKHOOD IN THAILAND - Original

$2,400.00

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

I lived in Thailand for a few years and spent time visiting many of the beautiful temples there. Traditionally, young men or boys enter the monkhood for a short period—anywhere from a few weeks during school breaks or the rainy retreat season, up to a few months.

This piece shows young boys entering monkhood. Cutting the novice’s hair and eyebrows is a purification ritual that symbolizes detachment from worldly vanity.

Drawn in pastel pencils.

MONK DRYING ROBE THAILAND - Original

$1,600.00

ABOUT THE ARTWORK

On my travels in Thailand I stayed in several temples. This image comes from Suan Mokkh Temple and the picture shows a Monk drying his robe. The way the light shone through the robe fascinated me. I made several attempts to capture the scene and finally got close to what I wanted with pastel layered over a watercolour base.
