This is the biggest painting I have ever made so far. The palace was built by the Dutch and was partly rebuilt after a past earthquake in Bogor. There are two sides of the palace, this is the north side. The south side has large lily pond and is where many deers roam freely. There are deers on the north side too but I opted not to include them in this painting. The sight of the deers is my fondest childhood memory whenever me and my family drove past Bogor usually on our way to Bandung or Sukabumi. The background is Mount Salak - a dormant volcano. The big tree in the foreground is a Beringin tree with its many hanging roots.
