These two paintings, Lotus Pond by Sa-ard Thanomwongse and Maple Leaves in Autumn by Noparat Livisiddhi are among the very first paintings we hung in our “new” house. After living in very modern glass box of a house for 10 years, we moved to a bigger house full of empty white walls! So in 1984 we commissioned the Lotus Pond, […]

The first lot of 10 paintings has already been returned (See Before & After Reveals 1-10 in this Chit-Chat journal) but the remaining 4 paintings were only taken away at the beginning […]
