Cheow Lan Lake Painting

Dimensions: 20 x 16 inch 50.08 cm x 40.6 cm oil on canvas 380g, Acid-free, 100% unbleached cotton triple pre-primed. Hand-signed in the back of the painting and in the front bottom left corner. Gloss Varnished This painting was inspired by the many stunning elements within Khao Sok National Park, including towering limestone cliffs, lush rainforest, and of course Cheow Larn Lake. The scenery is as dramatic as it is beautiful. Due to the mountainous landscape of limestone cliffs, over a hundred peaks remained when the valley was flooded to create Cheow Larn Lake; only their crests visible above the surface. Though the lake itself is only a few decades old, the greater area is ancient. In fact, the Khao Sok National Park outdates even the Amazon rainforest, with scientists estimating its creation at approximately 160 million years ago. The cliffs in this area of the country are thought to have been created at the same time as the Himalayas when 50 million years ago the Eurasian and Indian tectonic plates collided, forcing the rock upwards. Khao Sok National Park is home to an abundance of breathtaking scenery. A gorgeous emerald lake, thick tropical rainforests and dramatic limestone cliffs - the type often seen in movies - are just some of the features that make Khao Sok such a magical place and I couldn't resist bringing this magical world into my canvas. I personally guarantee that this painting will last for many years to come. I use nothing but the highest-grade archival materials in creating this artwork to ensure that this painting is ready to withstand the ages.
