Turkish Delight by Seok Yam Chew

Ah so great to see you back in the gallery where you belong and with such a superb study in such a great city - must go back some time. And a big thank you for the comments you have posted against my latest paintings - I really do appreciate the time and trouble you have taken

So that's where you've been! Great to see you back Seok with this little gem. Thanks too for your kind and generous comments on my paintings.

Welcome back Seok, love the colours you have used in this painting so vibrant, the folds in their garments stand out so well, a lovely painting. I woud also like to thank you for taking the time to comment on my paintings, much appreciated.

A brilliant study very well executed. Just goes to prove you don't need a background to make a great painting. Ditto regarding your kind comments.

I've missed your lovely snapshots on life in foreign parts. This is a lovely study which gives us an insight into life in Turkey and is a super painting to boot.

Great to see your little gems again Seok! So colourful and interesting peeks into another world.

I've never been much of a traveller Seok but I've enjoyed travelling with you. Your paintings give a fascinating glimpse of the people and places you've visited. Thank you for the time you have spent wading through my latest postings and your encouraging comments , they are very much appreciated.

Great to see you back ! Another beauty here Seok, such lovely rich colours.

Ahhh...so finally another gem, Seok! The story is beautifully told and I love the flowers around their little stall. So good to see you back here.

So now we know where you have been, Turkey, but it's good to have you back with your beautiful watercolour record of your trip. This is delightful, I like the way you have concentrated on the young boys and not distracted from them with a background. Looking forward to more from your latest travels.

What a delight Seok and welcome back! We have missed you and your travelog. Like the others I thank you for looking at and commenting on all my recent paintings. They are very much appreciated! I also agree with Val that leaving the background white gives more space to the main subject.

It's all been said. I this is the kind og painting that appeals to me.

Thanks so very much, everyone! Actually, I was in Turkey at the end of last year but just managed to get round to doing something from my photos. My latest trip was actually to Sri Lanka. Thank you again for your very kind comments.

I agree with everyone. Beautiful painting Seok

Wow! what a nice surprize to see one of your always exceptional paintings on this site. I have missed your snapshots of life in different countries, but this makes up for it. Colourful and interesting with a crisp, fresh feel. Welcome back Seok and thanks for all your comments on my gallery too. Very much appreciated :)

I can only agree with everyone as it's all been said! These little "moments" you capture of every day life around the world are marvellous. I'm sure you'll treat us to these "instantanés" from Sri Lanka in the coming months and I very much look foreward to them !

Up to your usual high standard Seok! Lovely to see you back on here and thanks for your comments on my latest, much appreciated!

Thank you very much, Petra, Sarah, Avril and Debs!

Lovely bright, fresh figure study Seok.
