A night of Jazz by Suthamma Ta Byrne

50x70cm, oil on canvas 
 
I had a brilliant night in the Bamboo Bar Bangkok recently. These latest paintings are a result of that night.
 
I once said it would be easier for me to walk on the moon than become an artist.
And it was all thanks to a cheeky little sketch I did back in 2010. That drawing changed my life. Now I'm looking down from the moon, not bad for a girl who left school at 12 to work in the rice fields of Thailand.
