Oil paintings and canvas prints of Hoi An, Hanoi and Saigon scenes

Browse by theme

Dining room wall art here means Vietnamese street and river scenes in warm colour: mustard and golden yellow walls in Hoi An, paper lanterns on dark blue water, rust-orange steel over a Hanoi market, and pink flowers on a sunlit wall. Every image can be had as a hand-painted oil painting or as an archival canvas print.

Yellow walls and lantern light around a table

Many of these paintings are built on one broad colour, and that colour is often yellow. In Street Vendors Before a Golden Wall, a row of walkers in pale conical hats carry round baskets on poles beside a grey kerb, and their purple, green and floral clothing breaks up the gold. Yellow Wall Cyclo Street Hoi An shows a cyclo with a green hood under a tall yellow wall, with green lattice windows and red lanterns among leaves. For a dining wall lit in the evening, Hoi An Riverside at Night with Floating Lanterns puts orange and yellow paper lanterns on dark blue water, with wooden boats and a crowd along the embankment. More of the same town is gathered in Hoi An.

Hanoi streets and Saigon greens

Hanoi Old Quarter Street Draped in Red Flags strings small red flags with yellow stars across a faded yellow facade, with a cyclo and motorbikes below. Rusted Girders Over a Hanoi Street Market sets rust-orange steel above stalls, bicycles and blue crates, softened by a round green tree and a pale grey sky. From Saigon, Fountain and Tree-Lined Avenue has a tall white fountain on bright green lawn under soft morning light, and Saigon Palace Lawn Framed by Orange Trees leads a grey road to a pale palace with a red flag. For the steel bridge itself, see Landmarks & Architecture.

Flowers and everyday scenes

Flowers appear in a few works. Pink Bougainvillea Over Yellow Hoi An spills magenta over a golden wall above sellers working among heaps of yellow flowers and green vegetables. Dragonflies Meeting Over Pink Lotus Buds is the quietest piece, in sage green, cream and pale blue. Paintings of people at work and in the street are gathered in Daily Life.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which of these paintings suit a dining room with warm lighting?
The yellow-wall scenes, such as Street Vendors Before a Golden Wall and Yellow Hoi An Doorway with Basket Sellers, carry gold and ochre that sit well under warm light. The night riverside with floating lanterns adds orange glow on dark blue.
Is there a calmer option than the busy street scenes?
Dragonflies Meeting Over Pink Lotus Buds uses sage green, cream and pale blue around a hazy pond. Fountain and Tree-Lined Avenue is also gentle, with green lawn and soft morning light.
Are there dining room paintings with a river rather than a street?
Yes. Yellow Riverside Houses with Wooden Boat shows yellow houses poured into rippled water, and Hoi An Covered Bridge and Boat carries figures in white ao dai across blue water toward a covered bridge.
Which paintings bring in red and rust tones?
Rusty Steel Bridge and Railway Tracks runs rust-orange steel over a pale sky, and Blue Cyclo Before a Red Gateway pairs a blue cyclo with a red and gold gateway and orange lanterns.
