    I found this at a thrift store today. Is it Indonesian?
    Has anyone heard of the artist?
    What is Klob? (last word) - the signature must have more than the artist's name in it, right?
    Thanks for your help!

    I get totally different images, nothing to do with painting or Bali, and it says the search is for 'kt darshan penestanan', whereas this is by Kt Darsa, not Darshan.:confused:

    Penestanan is the name of a suburb of painter's village Ubud. Ubud proper is the ultimate tourist trap on touristy Bali, so people are now moving to Penestanan. Soon Penestanan will have Starbucks etc as well, and people will have to move somewhere else.
    The painting is in the Penestanan naive style. It is cute, and I like the colours, but it is not of major Balinese artist quality.

    Ketut is the name of a fourth child in a Balinese family, boy or girl. It is also the word for a small banana.:playful:

    That is because Google doesn't know the Balinese naming system and Ketut Soki is the most famous Ketut in Penestanan.:playful:
    Ketut Soki is famous for extremely colourful and intricate paintings, which are signed with his own name. A similar painting by him would look like this:

    A better image of mine taken with my camera (instead of phone) - um.. so what is the artist name of mine that I would put in the title of a listing?
    Thanks again - I too was/am lost with this signature!

    Also - why did artist paint mine so brown instead of green? Is it summer/drought season, or easier that painting with lush green?

    The artist's name is Kt Darsa. Forget about the other artist.;)
    It is good to mention Penestanan and Bali as well. The subject is planting and harvesting rice, btw.

    Bali doesn't have a drought season, it is green all year round. This is just artistic licence. I like it, and it makes other things stand out more.
