I noticed a photography and art section here with no art. Because the days can be a bit slow here in Isan I took up oil painting about four  years ago and found it's a great way to fill in time. Hopefully I can kick start something here by posting some paintings and encourage others to do likewise. The first is outside the Chinese cultural centre in Udon, the second a supposedly haunted house in Ko Chang and lastly a coconut vendor in Nakhon Nowhere. Cheers!

What are the dimensions of these paintings. 

 

Looks professional !

 

Any more to display ?

 

nice paintings and a great hobby.

 

reminiscent of some of steve kilbey's work

Canvas and watercolour paper are very cheap to buy in Thailand and I like to use either at no bigger than 60cm so they can fit in the post or on a plane. Thanks halfaboy, I've done about 60 to date. Cheers samsensam, Steve Kilbey was also an excellent muso and I didn't know he painted before you mentioned it. Here is a portrait I just finished..

Are you keeping all these artworks as a private collection ?

No. I offload what I can. Difficult here as the locals don't see past Buddha images and royal portraits

There may be some interest amongst members on this forum. The formats are oke (60 cm) and will fit in most of the condo's. Show something, include a price indication and who knows....

 

 

I've never tried oils. These are nice. I did acrylics for a couple of years, then took a year off. I've just started on watercolour. Watercolour is very popular among Thai and there are some excellent artists here.

Here are some of my acrylics:

A few more...1: 'Blue Heart Sunset' , a sunset on Ko Chang. 2: 'The Carabao Express', a tuk-tuk in Issan. 3: 'Naturally' , another oil on w/colour paper. 4: 'Donald loves Hillary and Hillary loves Donald', nice if they could get along and set an example to us all....

1: 'Yin and Yang' (the Thai-Chinese Cultural Centre in Udon Thani). 2: 'Thai  girl'. 3: 'Twin shores'.

1: 'Woman in the waves' ( late afternoon at Kai Bae beach ). 2: 'Talay Bua Daeng'. 3: Sek Loso does Nong Prajak.

What are (in general) the dimensions of your paintings ?

Murals in the carpark of a restaurant in Phimai, only had my phone with me so not too good, sorry.

Always nice to have a trip back home, in my case Perth, Western Australia. The sky is noticeably bluer back there. Here are some paintings of my home town. 1: Point Walter, 2: Indiana Tea House, Cottesloe Beach, 3: Matilda Bay on the Swan River.

Painted by yourself ?
