I’ve intended painting a scene from a trip we did to Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam a couple of years ago. We visited a Thai floating market and I was struck by the attack on the senses of the noise, smells, colour and liveliness of the scene. As a result, I thought it would make a good subject for a painting but I have really struggled with this one and almost gave up on it. I got tied up in the details and found myself fiddling in small areas rather than keeping it loose and more impressionistic, the result being neither one thing or the other. Compositionally it isn’t very pleasing either but I’d welcome any critical comment from the members........don’t hold back I can take it! - Ian Fountaine
