A lady in Ho Chi Minh City (formerly known as Saigon) Vietnam purchased this painting. It only took four or five days via USPS to get there but almost another month to get it through customs- including the appropriate cash "tips" she had to pay to the "right" people.
Asia is like that.
Here is where it hangs in her home.
FedEx and UPS would have cost way over $200 for shipping. The US Postal Service price I paid was $65.38. Less paperwork, too.

Did you know that Vietnam is now the second biggest exporter of coffee by volume? Brazil is first. Columbia used to be second. In the Vietnam war years, there were absolutely zero coffee trees in Vietnam. The soil (volcanic in the mountains) is perfect. The temperatures and rain fall are similar to Sumatra, a rich coffee-grower, too.
We need the back story. How did she find you? Is she someone you know? Now you are a world famous artist!
It looks perfect, especially the soft colors against that dark background.
I am so glad you shared it with us. It has found it's home.
A perfect setting ... how nice of her to send you the photo.
You must be so proud!
I'm so pleased to see it in its new home, and that particular painting looks perfect there.
