leen 2 Report post Posted November 23, 2007 hi all,juz want to share this with you guz out there.i was walking at chinatown when i saw this small store which sells painting.the store is those pushcart temporary type except that its a small store located on the street juz infront of tbe buddha tooth relic temple. next to this store is a store that sells hm deco lightings which have items from Thailand (i ever saw similar items at Thailand Suan Lum Night Mkt). the lightings are vy much like resort type.and this small store has quite a few different type of buddha paintings which are quite nicely done and other abstract paintings of different sizes.but as i didn't ask for the price, i don't know how much are the paintings. i guess shouldn't be too expensive.maybe you guz who are interested to get some of these similar type of deco and go there and take a look.

leen 2 Report post Posted December 31, 2007 yesterday was walking around Chinatown near the Buddha Relic Temple side and found a shop run by a China chinese. his shop is facing Maxwell Hawker Centre / Food Market. he hangs alot of vy vy big brushes (meant for Chinese paintings) outside his shop and so its vy easy to recognise his shop and plus he put a signboard stating that framing services available.he has alot of cheap paintings from China, ranging from $20 to $400 depending on the size and type of paintings. Mostly that i saw are oil paintings. got china girls, landscape, Buddha (nowadays vy popular those types and he has many different patterns and sizes selling around $70) and abstract as well.these paintings are not mounted onto the wooden frame yet. the paintings are very very cheap. $20 for abt a bit smaller than A4 size, $68 for abt A3 size and so on..but the China boss (man) got attitute problm, like everybody owe him a living like that. keep saying that Singaporean will not open a shop on public holidays etc... only China ppl vy hardworking etc... except for that, the paintings are worthwile to take a look.
