Thailand: exotic but accessible



The reason I was not writing a blog for a two week period, was I was in Thailand in May, returning May 27th. Although I had been to Thailand before, this was a personal journey with special people, now part of our family. Thailand has so much to offer the tourist with fabulous food, friendly people and exotic sights.

I chose not to photograph very much. Mostly I sketched and jotted notes in a journal. Many artists do this well. I tried this for my first time. I need more practice. Here are two images.

The first is a picture of the "floating market".

The second is a sketch of rambutan and mangosteen. I particularly liked taking the husk off mangosteen to eat the soft, white fruit inside.

This month there is the show at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art. The website: http://www.marinmoca.org/
The address is: 500 Palm Drive, Novato, CA this does not deal with Thailand, but with art that uses "found material." this is a fun show.
