"The Floating Market" Sa Ngad

Reflection : This painting is drawn by Sa-Ngad Pui-Ock, my favourite artist. He is my favourtite Southeast Asian artist as I think that his paintings are very real and it will lead me to think more about it. I will ask myself questions like "What is this picture is trying to say?", "What feelings does the artist show when painting it?", and "Why are the people looking sad/happy/angry?". Of all his other paintings, I like this one best because this shows what a floating market looks like, just across the river from central Bangkok, in the canals of Thonburi, and it tells me about the life there in Chiang Mai and how fortunate we are to be living in Singapore, which is such an advanced and clean & green country.
