Green Path, the road running by the side of Victoria Park, Colombo has a
row of displayed local paintings on canvas as a semi permanent feature.
They do give colour to the city.
Most are of acrylic paint, a few in oil. Most have local content, though a
few are western in appearance.
Cost around Rs 3000-5000.
I bought this 2 1/2 ft x 3 1/2ft item for around Rs 2000/ a few years ago.
Painted by a teen girl.
Look no ornate frame. Frames cost far more than a picture!
It hangs on one nail on the wall at home.
