Original artwork description:

This was painted “en plein air” over two very hot and sunny days on Laem Tong Beach, Phi Phi Don Island, Thailand from the balcony of Room 118 at the Holiday Inn. Most of my other Thailand pictures were completed in one session, but this one caused more problems (and not just because of the huge biting ants and mosquitoes!) I was drawn to this scene because of the trees (which I always like) and the shadows cast on the sand as the bright sunlight beamed through the leaves. It was particularly difficult to try to show the depth in this picture, I think because of the changing light, angles of the branches and the many small details involved. This one was definitely more of a struggle than most of the other pictures done on this trip! Enjoy the challenge!
A note to International Buyers:
Shipping rates have increased in price all around the world due to Covid and other complications. Due to this I have had to increase the the cost of shipping my artworks in line with the Delivery Companies. I will always strive to find the cheapest possible option for the customer (usually my local POST OFFICE EMS Recorded Delivery, but unfortunately they don’t deliver worldwide at the moment) If the amount of shipping charged at purchase is less than the shipping company charges then I will refund the difference to the customer. This refund will be done after the picture has arrived safely and has been accepted.
Any import duties, taxes and charges that may be payable are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges, if applicable, will be the responsibility of the buyer. Please message me to check if this might affect your purchase.
