Mission Statement: to do very little, for very few, for not very long. Disappointing the easily pleased since 1819. Not as good as it used to be from Day One. History is Bunk - PT Barnum. Artificially Intelligent before it was fashionable. Fat camp for the mind! Nothing lasts, but nothing is lost. The Shock of the Old! Often bettered, never imitated.
Saw this hanging on the wall of a restaurant (the kind that doesn't have many walls) and asked if they wanted to sell it. They did. Painted about thirty years ago by the restaurant owner's brother, long dead. Now in my home, cleaned up and cared for.
ReplyDeleteNote the lovely ladies in the tree - refers to old Thai story.
DeleteOh - the bright areas are gleaming gold, not white!
DeleteI see they have Magic Eye merch in Siam too.
ReplyDeleteLong available as Third Eye merch.
DeleteThis is a fantastic painting! I would have never thought to ask them if they wanted to sell it, but fortunately you did. A wonderful addition to your home.
ReplyDeleteNext time I visit the restaurant, I'll try to get more details about the artist.It's a properly constructed piece physically, in a beautifully finished teak frame (about 3' wide), canvas on a good stretcher, must have been made in Bangkok, a specialised thing like this. I paid 4000 baht for it (around $120), which was the asking price. I didn't haggle! With all the finely detailed brushwork, it must represent a half-year's work. When the morning sun catches it sideways, it glows like some psychedelic tapestry.
