The Girl and the River Ship

Hello, my dear friends around the world ❤️

Even though my work on the cargo ship is usually very busy, my ship has been anchored at home for quite a while now because there is currently no cargo to transport. I still need to wait about 20 more days before starting the next journey again

Right now, most of the ship maintenance work is almost finished. Besides helping my parents every day, I have been spending my quiet time aboard the ship painting Fine Art and Concept Art on natural wood slices from trees found here in the Mekong Delta 🌴🎨

Before this, I used to paint A2, A3, and A4 artworks for children’s schools and small local projects. But this time, I wanted to try something more special and personal. Today, my husband helped me cut natural wood pieces so I could dry them, polish them smooth, and turn them into handmade paintings created directly on the wood itself ❤️

My paintings are made completely by hand, sometimes combined with small natural stones to create texture and emotion. I do not sketch first with pencil — I simply imagine the picture in my mind and paint directly onto the wood.

I am not a great professional artist, only a young girl from the Mekong Delta who loves learning new things and wants to create beautiful handmade art with all my heart. So maybe my lines are not always perfect, but every painting carries my real feelings, my quiet life on the river, and the simple beauty of southern Vietnam ♥️

Today, I would like to gently ask my dear friends around the world if anyone would like to support me by purchasing one of my handmade paintings ❤️
Your support would truly help and encourage me very much during this quiet time while my ship is waiting for the next cargo season.

Soon, I will also make videos showing my painting process aboard the ship for all of you to watch 🎨🚢

I already contacted shipping companies, and they told me international shipping costs are around 50 USD, which seems quite reasonable for safely sending the artwork to your country.

Thank you so much, dear friends, for always supporting a small river girl from the Mekong Delta with so much kindness and love ♥️
Wishing all of you peace, happiness, and beautiful days wherever you are in the world ❤️

I’m very happy to share that I’ve successfully bought a new drone, thanks to the amazing support from all of you 🚁♥️
I already have new videos filmed, but lately I’ve been very busy with work and haven’t finished editing them yet
For today, please enjoy this video of my journey home after the rice harvest season ended in the large fields 🌾♥️
After several months of continuous work, I’m finally sailing home to do a full maintenance check on my ship and engine ♥️
Thank you so much for always supporting and encouraging me—it truly means a lot to me ♥️
Love you all, my dear friends ♥️
Thank you so much ♥️

Dear my friends,
Wishing you a peaceful and beautiful day
I’m sorry that I couldn’t finish editing a new video today. I’ve been quite busy with work on the ship, so I needed a little more time.
But today, I spent some quiet moments doing something special — I hand-painted a name sign for my ship. The name is “TÂN AN”, combining my name and my husband’s ❤️
I also paint small artworks for children’s schools, so I already have some tools and 3D paints. Still, I feel my drawing is not very skillful yet — I will keep practicing and improving
Tomorrow I will post a new video as usual. In the future, I may upload every 3 days to make sure the videos are better quality.
Thank you so much for your support from all around the world ♥️
I truly appreciate and cherish all of you.
Once again, thank you — and I wish you all peace and happiness ♥️

Hello my dear friends,
Today I challenged myself with something new. I replaced the drive belts after noticing they were quite badly worn. If I hadn’t done it in time, they could have snapped and the engine wouldn’t run at all.
It wasn’t an easy task, especially for a female captain like me… but I really want to keep learning and discovering new things on this journey. And in the end, I did it—I successfully replaced them! When I started the engine again, it ran so smoothly ♥️
I also want to say sorry for the delay with the name sign for my ship. I know you’ve been waiting, and I truly appreciate your patience. Work has been quite busy, but I will finish it soon and share it with you in my next post ☺️
Thank you so much for always being here with me 💙

My ship has been working on the river for many years, carrying cargo and traveling through many places.
Some viewers suggested that the ship should have a name, like a character in the story.
What name would you give to this river ship? 😊🚢
I would love to hear your ideas!

Many people ask if unloading cargo is harder than loading.
Today’s video shows how we unload a full boat of sugar cane.
