Painted on location in Wanchai Market, Hong Kong, this watercolour shows Yat Sing Toys around the time of Lantern Festival. Colourful fish shaped lanterns as well as swimimg paraphernalia can be seen due to the time of year (August). Shops such as these are under threat from larger retailers and online shopping in Hong Kong and Yat Sing Toys will close later this year (2024) I wanted to paint it before it closed as a record of the Hong Kong we all know and love.
