Here’s a close up of the second work, done in colored charcoal. Had to rework it today to bring out the colors and the whites but it really made me smile to see it come alive again. Wouldn’t it be great if we could just paddleboard our way to work everyday?

Which frame do you think is better: Black or white? I’m always at a loss when it comes to framing. Any help much appreciated!

Been experimenting with framing, and ended up with these two today. What do you think? Do they look happy in their new clothes? ????

Here’s my friend, Billy, holding a #wip portrait I did of him after we hiked the Taal volcano in Talisay, Batangas last month. Known as the world’s smallest volcano, it is actually a crater within a crater, with many other volcanoes next to it inside this big lake. Been wanting to do the hike for ages, so I was thankful to have an outdoorsy visitor agree to join me.???? Needed more time to work on the features of his face, but I really miss working outdoors like this! How’s your Saturday coming along?#outdoor #portrait #acrylic #painting #pleinair #wip #taal #volcano #lake #taalyachtclub #boat
Behind the scenes pics of that hike:
Finally hiked the Taal volcano and even got to boil an egg on the shore of the lake! The Philippines has so many hidden gems like this– so thankful to be living here.

“Alice: Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?The Cheshire Cat: That depends a good deal on where you want to get to.Alice: I don’t much care where.The Cheshire Cat: Then it doesn’t much matter which way you go.” An ode to one of my most cherished books.

Starting to catalog my works since the early 2000s and coming face to face with old pieces has been such a delight, like unexpectedly finding money in an old wallet or running into an old friend! Will be putting up an online catalog soon for all available Montaluts for sale. Watch out for it!

If you’re in town this long weekend, I’ll be having an open studio (my first!) on Monday, September 12, 2016. Selling new works and a lot of my early works. Let me know if you can make it 🙂 Montalut Studio is in the clubhouse complex of Acropolis, Libis, Quezon City. Look for the blue door in front of the indoor tennis court and beside the salon.#montalutstudio #painting #drawing #forsale
Can you name at least 5 varieties of bananas grown in the Philippines? The most nutritious one is the saba, which is boiled, prepared with sugar syrup on ice or deep fried and served like barbecue on a stick. For me, the best is still to eat it as is, raw and healthy!
