Chiang Mai, ThailandTuesday, December 29, 2009
In our early morning walks through Chiang Mai, we got to know (if but briefly) a monk at a nearby temple. Originally from Laos, he came to Thailand to study at the big Buddhist university here. A took a big liking to him and wanted to return to read Thomas the Tank Engine to him. He explained to me that he had started painting in high school in Laos, but had never a chance to study painting more formally until he reached Thailand two years ago. Here is his latest painting, still in progress.
