On Tha Pae Road in Chiang Mai, there is a cluttered storefront with layers of paintings obstructing the already tiny doors in. Once inside, you're met with piles and piles and layers and layers of paintings filled with happy colors and gentle blessings.
Live your dream, don't dream your life.
Think global, Act local.
It is better to dance in the rain than to weather the storm.
John Gallery has been open for 30 years. He is beautiful - with kind eyes and smile wrinkles. His initial goal was to reach 100,000 paintings but he has far surpassed that and told me he is now aiming for 200,000. I bought a medium sized painting that says "Do what you love, the universe will take care of the rest." He threw in a few extra paintings as gifts - "Because I have so many! You lose what you do not share," he said.
