The painting depicts the serene and tranquil waters of Inle Lake with a traditional Intha fisherman, intricately detailed with pen work to capture the boat, the fisherman's pose, and the unique fishing technique. Watercolours are used to evoke the soothing and harmonious colours of the lake and the surrounding landscape, creating a sense of peacefulness and reflection.

The composition emphasises the simplicity and beauty of life at Inle Lake, with the fisherman's serene reflection on the water symbolizing a deeper message.

The saying "Life is difficult because we don't appreciate the things that come easily" incorporated into the painting, serves as a reflective and contemplative message. It implies that life can seem challenging and complicated when we fail to appreciate the simple and beautiful things that are easily accessible to us. The combination of the Inle Lake fishing scene and the message reinforces the idea of finding contentment and peace in life's simpler joys.

The blend of detailed pen work and the soft, evocative qualities of watercolours creates a visually serene and philosophically reflective artwork. It inspires viewers to reflect on the importance of appreciating the easy and beautiful moments in life.

This painting would make for a tranquil and thought-provoking addition to any space, encouraging viewers to find contentment in life's simple pleasures and the appreciation of the easily accessible beauty in the world.
