Two figures are seen occupied by the flocks of ducks scattered everywhere in the scene. The tinge of dark green background further enhances the beauty of the landscape suggesting the hours to be later in the evening. Rendered with such flawless brush strokes the painting speaks of the beauty of nature. Tan Peng Hooi is perhaps one of Penang’s best kept secrets in the arts, being versatile in painting almost any subject including nudes, flowers (orchids and lotus), landscapes, fishing villages and harbours, animals, fowls and birds. His specialty is creating the atmospheric backdrop effect similar to that of Lee Man Fong. He has held solo exhibitions at the Penang State Art Gallery (1980, 2009), The Art Gallery Penang (1993, 1999), and at the USM ABN-AMRO Arts and Cultural Centre, Penang (2005).
