Mandalay Palace, taken when Jason and Nunu traveled to Burma in Winter 2013. Many of the Zans were born in and nearby Mandalay.
An oil on canvas painting of Mandalay Palace by Spencer Zan. This painting is now hanging in Guthrie, OK, in the home of Jason and Jessica Zan.
We have a painting by your grandfather of this very spot. It’s looking through the trees, straight on at that gate. Jason actually managed to get a pic from almost exactly the same vantage. I’ve always wondered if Bobo painted it from memory, or if he had a likeness to reference. It’s so accurate, down to the inconsistency in the whitewash.

I always wondered if Bobo painted it from memory, or if he had some other reference. It’s amazingly accurate, down to the inconsistency of the whitewash.
