Turtle

This little guy below lives in Bangkok, in the fish pond of the hotel I stayed in last year.
 Everyday he climbs out of the tank roams around the hotel gets heaps of attention from the hotel guests and then at night he climbs back up into the tank


I don't know what breed of turtle he is but those red eyes are striking though, and below is my original doodle of a turtle and below him is the same image photoshoped its available for sale in my
Blue Dog Studio
 as a Print

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
