The lovely landscapes that the Malaysian countryside has to offer certainly proves as a muse for Shafurdin Habib, as he captures the beauty of nature at its best, untouched and flourishing. Utilising his virtuosity with watercolour, he paints on paper very skilfully the hills, the trees, the skies, the sands and the seas along with villagers. Although it is a simple depiction of the scenery of a humble setting, Shafurdin fastidiously details every single bit and form of this piece, wowing the viewers with its complexity of a kampung house, surrounded by paddy fields as vast as the horizon.
