In 2010, I took a fantastic four-month trip to Southeast Asia. Of course, I brought my paints. The paintings I’m showing here we’re all done on location, although I did touch them up once I got home. I’m offering these as a group because It would be best if they were kept together. The workContinue reading “SE Asia Paintings. Group of 29 – $3200”

Plein Air Painting in SE Asia
In 2010, I took a fantastic four month trip to Southeast Asia. My uncle, who worked as a hydroelectric engineer in Laos and Thailand, had lived there for many years, and it was time to visit. I spent several weeks with him, and the remainder of time visiting all over Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Malaysia, andContinue reading “Plein Air Painting in SE Asia”
Plein Air Painting in Bali, Indonesia
Right after my trip to Australia, I went to Bali. I chose Bali primarily because it was an inexpensive flight from Perth, where I was at the time (you can see my blog post about Australia here). I had considered New Zealand and SE Asia, but Bali is so nearby, it seemed the easiest. ItContinue reading “Plein Air Painting in Bali, Indonesia”

Back to Bangkok and Chicago
After Malacca I took a sleeper train up to Thailand. These Asian sleeper trains are quite comfortable, as long as you get a bottom berth. First I went back to Chumpon and visited my uncle. We had some nice talks and spent time snorkeling and oyster gathering. Bangkok and Chicago On May 5th I returnedContinue reading “Back to Bangkok and Chicago”

Thais armed with water-pistols for Songkran Thai New Year and Water Festival on Ko Pha Ngan Island I spent a few more days in Ko Pha Ngan island where I did some snorkeling for the first time.

Landmines in Laos
During my painting trip through the otherwise very pleasant country of Laos, one unhappy but important thing I learned about was the amount of UXO (or unexploded ordnance) and the de-mining activities. Although Laos was neutral during the Vietnam War and the United States never officially declared war upon it, US forces dropped over two millionContinue reading “Landmines in Laos”
