Very rarely do I see modern artworks by local artists that I like, but I’ve always wanted to buy this picture by Flying Fish an artist from Taidong (one of the islands actually, Green I think). For a long time, it was on display at the Good Day Cafe. I saw it again when I was in Taidong recently and took this picture.

He wants 100,000 for it. Should I part with the hard earned?
Green? Or Orchid? He has on a Tao helmet. I’d need to see it close up before deciding on the price, plus the size would have a lot to do with it. But I’d say 100k is fairly inexpensive, as he’s fairly well-known. If I had the cash lying around I’d probably go for it. (I’ve paid about 80k each for a couple of not-particularly-large oils that were done by a professional artist although not a very well-known or popular one, which is what I’m basing my judgement on.)
I like it, but its not my favourite – he has some much nicer ones, IMO, in particular a couple of almost dreamlike seascapes that I’d love to have.
I think it’s Green, but I’m not sure. Where they plan on dumping the nuclear waste, anyway.
You’re right Sandman. He does have a lot of beautiful paintings. It’s just that there seems to be so much to this one.

Orchid island (Lanyu) is the one with the nuclear waste dump and home to the Tao.
