"Earth" from Pali vasundra), born Khin Hla, was a prominent Burmese painter, best known for his watercolor and batik paintings.[1] He was the subject of a documentary called A Sketch of Wathone, directed by Kyi Phyu Shin, which won the best shorts award at the National Geographic Society's 2008 All Roads Film Festival.[1] He died at his home in Thingangyun Township, Yangon, in 2008.[2]
