Photo and commentary by Igor Prahin extracted from http://www.flickr.com/photos/iprahin/
I painted this because the colours of the exterior and architecture caught my attention from afar when I was around the vicinity. I also saw this photo taken by Igor Prahin that I triggered me to paint this from the unusual angle this was captured. This house is one of the last surviving Chinese Villas in Little India. Built in 1900, this eight-room villa was built for the wife of a Chinese businessman by the name of Tan Teng Niah. Mr Tan owned a confectionery business and other smaller businesses and a rubber smokehouse. He was one of the non-Indian communities who prospered in Little India in the 1900s. The villa is one of several landmarks for tourists and comprises of interesting features such as a courtyard, gilded name plate with the calligraphic inscription 'siew song' or Elegant Pine (the pine being a symbol of endurance), richly carved pintu pagar (coloured swinging doors), bamboo tiled roof and calligraphic scrolls hanging from the living room. The villa has been restored and leased for commercial use.

Great choice of an exciting angle and beautiful colors, with an appropriately slightly disconcerting feel.
