Love of Asian Botanical Paintings
Love of Asian Botanical Paintings
I have a love for Asian botanical paintings. I’ve been seeking them out for a long time. I have many in my collection and love each and every one of them.
The first Asian botanical painting that I bought was Vietnamese. It was one of a series of twelve paintings that I bought that were created by Vu Viet Hung. I have them all over my home.
These oil landscapes by Vu Viet Hung are stunning. These Asian botanical paintings really set a serene tone in my home. The subtleties of the colors and the simple themes go so well on my walls.
I found a lovely Asian botanical painting quite by chance at a yard sale. I don’t usually make a habit of looking for paintings at yard sales, but this one was displayed out front and enticed me to stop. At first glance, I thought I was looking at a painting of a palm tree. At closer inspection, I found that the painting was of a bonsai tree.
My office has a more contemporary feel than the rest of my house. I have found that I like to have an abstract Asian botanical painting to ponder while I am thinking. I searched for a long time to find just the right piece to hang there. I finally found a piece by an artist named Soniei called Enlightenment.
Soniei has a collection called the New Zen Sho Collection. I love his work. The abstract that I bought is considered an Asian botanical painting because it features bamboo. In addition to the bamboo, there is beautiful calligraphy.
I have my eye on another Asian botanical painting by Soniei that has shades of sea-foam green. It is much more subdued than the one I bought called Enlightenment. This one is called Self-awareness and it is just lovely. It is another painting of bamboo.
My mother-in-law admires the Asian botanical paintings that I find. I found one that I really liked at a gallery in Hartford while I was on vacation. It did not fit with my home and so I bought it for her. She has really enjoyed it. It features two flowering trees in acrylic on two panels. The painting really is stunning with all of the shades of red. It looks great in her house.
My husband isn’t as big a fan of Asian botanical paintings as I am. They just don’t speak to him. He has allowed me to hang one painting in his office because he approved of the color scheme. The Asian botanical painting he chose for me to hang for him was a black and white.
Our daughter loves watercolor Asian botanical paintings on fabric. She keeps her eye out for advertisements in our local paper for people selling them. She has already purchased three. She is well on her way to her own collection.
Bamboo is the most popular subject in Asian botanical paintings. I have found so many paintings in so many different mediums that all feature bamboo. I catch myself buying so many paintings that I’ve started giving them as gifts for friends and family for house warming gifts.
My sister recently bought a condo and I gave her an Asian botanical painting of happy birds and bamboo. She liked the watercolor and asked me to find her two more to hang throughout her home. I was able to find several more at the same shop that were created by the same artist.
The other Asian botanical paintings were of snow bamboo in moonlight and green bamboo. I’ll keep checking back at that store for new paintings. She said that she could probably use one or two more.
I am planning to redecorate my kitchen. I do not like the French Country dcor that the previous owner chose. I would prefer that my kitchen reflect my personality better. I will absolutely need an Asian botanical painting hung prominently in my kitchen.
I have the perfect Asian botanical painting in mind already. It is a nice Chinese painting that was done on rice paper with ink, water and color. It is mounted with nice silk border by an expert and is ready to frame.

How to successfully break into a foreign market
ASIA FOCUS : How to successfully break into a foreign market
In the first of a series of articles intended to highlight the issues faced by Thai entrepreneurs who venture abroad, the head of Masterkool International discusses his company's experiences, how it selected its markets and the channels it used to build its brand overseas.
Operating a business in foreign countries is a dream of many Thai entrepreneurs, but it requires lots of preparation.
Entrepreneurs who want to head abroad need to understand a laundry list of regulations and refine their own products to excel in specific markets.
Take Masterkool International for example. We manufacture, distribute, and export Masterkool-branded mist fans. I've been a management executive for more than five years now, and about four years ago I spearheaded a move to sell our brand to foreign customers.
In those early years, I encountered many problems and obstacles. But those experiences have proved essential in giving us a competitive advantage today.
I like to share stories about our overseas start-up to Thai SME operators who are interested in setting up shop overseas.
The most important thing is determining a clear strategic goal for the product before plunging into a foreign market.
A Masterkool mist fan, as you may imagine, is a seasonal product that sells best during the summer heat. At the peak of the hot season, the fans are flying off the shelves. But during the rainy and winter seasons, sales volume hits normal levels or even stagnates, resulting in a slowdown of stock release.
Therefore, selling to foreign countries boosts stagnant sales in the offseason. This creates a new market for the product and assures consistent cashflow.
For Masterkool, this worked out very well. The rainy season in Thailand corresponds with the summer season in Europe and the Middle East, so we can arrange our sales plan in each region to stabilise sales volume for the entire year. We sell throughout the year without interruption.
Entrepreneurs also need to seek innovation that paves the way to distribution channels abroad. Stores both here and overseas want innovative products that can draw new customers.
In the case of Masterkool mist fan, I spread the word about the product by putting a sticker with the company's address and phone number on the rear of every unit. When tourists bought them, any potential buyer could easily contact the company for further information.
In the past, foreign customers actually walked in to visit the company after seeing Masterkool products at tourist spots in Thailand. However, we considered the tourist market superficial since it didn't present continuous sales.
We had to come up with a serious plan to export our product to foreign markets. Without taking a chance, we would not gain anything.
After management decided to pull the trigger, I quickly took our Masterkool project to the Department of Export Promotion. Officials provided us with helpful suggestions for foreign market expansion and invited us to participate in roadshows arranged by the department where we could open a booth to present our product.
We were able to select the countries we were interested in exporting to, and decided to focus on the Middle East and Europe. We then found reliable local distributors in each country.
Furthermore, the Department of Export Promotion helped us tremendously in cutting costs incurred from selling overseas and gave us advice on business connections.
I truly encourage all Thai business operators who are preparing to expand overseas to head to the Department of Export Promotion, as it is really a helping hand.
It is imperative for you to determine a thorough strategic marketing plan for your products to succeed abroad.
