Jim Thompson Used to Live Here

Once again while in Thailand I went to visit Jim Thompson's
house he was the founder of the Thai Silk Industry but he mysteriously disappeared while visiting Malaysia
his house sat idle for some time before the Thais took it over and opened it to the public its a beautiful Thai teak house and the gardens are lovely and it backs onto Bangkok's klongs (little canals where the river runs)
below is the original photo of the house taken by me

for those of you that know me
Thailand is my favorite destination so much so I go there every year to visit

The class task once again was to take a photo and make some changes

I took this photo last holiday while visiting Autthaya Its the Old City of Thailand once the Capitol but nowadays Bangkok is the capital any how after a few battles this place had suffered some damage but it is now under World Heritage Protection its an amazing place and I had the best day visiting there with my guide Warren

I took the photo and over the top I laid my original doodle then I took to adding some colour to it



I have made this piece another time the doodle has been made into a painting as well which has been sold
