The painter was taking a short break in front of his painting

As I wandered through the market, I came to a section that dealt with artwork. This large market is divided into eight sections, and the art section is one of them. Every store has artwork that is sold as souvenirs. That must be why. There are few works of contemporary art created using novel techniques. They are all things that would be popular with everyone. Most of the people who buy art at these places are Westerners. If you want to hang a work of art in your home as a memento of your trip to Thailand, it should have a somewhat Asian feel to it. There is no need for esoteric interpretations.

When walking around, you may see stores where the artist himself is present. The artist himself may have set up store there. The store where I stopped was one such place. There was a canvas in the process of being created, and the artist was sitting in front of it. He was holding a mug in his hand, so I guessed he was taking a short break. When I pointed the camera at him, he smiled. The canvas was still mostly blank, but the artist seemed confident that he could create a beautiful work of art.
