Portraits

This is a portrait sketch in oils on canvas of the young Thai concert pianist Phu Koanantakool. My wife and I had the pleasure attending Phu’s magnificent piano recital in 2009 of the complete Chopin Etudes to mark Chopin’s 200th anniversary. The concert took place at the prestigious Sangvian Indaravijaya Auditorium in The Stock Exchange of Thailand. You can read more about Phu here: https://phurecital.wordpress.com/about/.
