Description:
Krathong are small floats made with trunks and leaves of banana trees. On the three nights of Loi Krathong, people make their way to rivers, light the candle and incense, raise the krathong with both hands to their foreheads, offer a prayer, and then place the krathong in the water, gently propelling it into the stream.
Loi Krathong is considered an offering to the Goddess Mae Khongkha, the mother of water. The commonly held reason for the custom is that by making an offering back to the water spirit, local people are seeking remission for having taken and used the waters.
Artist Innop partly executes this impressionist painting with the pointillism technique.

About the Artist:
This painting was made by Innop Innop Wonga-nut. The artist was born in 1975 in Yasothon Province. He first studied at Phochang Art College in Bangkok and got a bachelor's degree in art at the Chiang Mai Institute of Technology.
As a boy Buddhism played a major roll for him. He would watch his parents involving themselves in activities at the temple and would go with them when they went to rituals and ceremonies. He would always enjoy playing in the temple compound if he wasn't participating in the rituals.
Innop says: "I live according to Buddhist principles, which help us leads lives filled with happiness. Remaining calm helps keep my mind clear so that I can be creative in my art works. My success is that I can do what I love. Thank you to everyone who browses my work. I hope it can give you feelings of happiness too."
