Night Scene Wall Art of Vietnam

Lanterns over the streets of Hoi An, a full moon on a misty river, a Hanoi bridge at sunset, lit bridges in Da Nang and Hue, and steaming food stalls make up these night paintings of Vietnam. Orange, red, yellow and gold lights glow against deep blue and slate grey.

Lantern streets in Hoi An after dark

In one painting, silk lanterns in orange, yellow, green and pink crowd the whole upper picture, with baskets and goods at street level and glossy stone paving underneath. The glowing lights of these Hoi An pieces also hang in Lanterns and Hoi An.

Moonlight, bridges and dark water

The river pictures change the mood. A full moon lights a misty river where a rower and a seated figure in conical hats drift past moored boats, and red and yellow lanterns glow along the houses on the right bank. The Hanoi river painting pairs a rust-brown steel bridge with a pale sun low in a peach sky, and its water is cut into orange, white and blue strokes. At Da Nang, orange arches carry a dragon head burning with flame under a swirling violet sky; bridge views like these also hang in Bridges.

Noodle pots and charcoal grills in the dark

Food shows up in the Street Scene paintings too. In one, a woman lifts noodles out of a steaming pot while one orange lantern glows against slate grey-blue. In another, a woman in black bends over glowing coals, grilling prawns and a fish beneath a teal awning, with round orange and yellow lanterns strung in a curve above her.

Choosing a night painting for a pale or a dark wall

The moonlit river and the lantern stall carry deep colour, so their orange and yellow lights stand out on a pale wall. The noodle stall in slate grey-blue suits a quiet corner, and the violet and orange of the Da Nang bridge make one strong piece on a plain wall. Every piece comes as a hand-painted oil painting or an archival canvas print.
