We all need extra hugs these days.

Studio Works

I don’t think I’ll ever tire of giving hugs. Here’s a baby hug and restful sleep to go with it… The world surely needs it especially after the crazy turn of events this week.

Paddleboard in the city

Studio Works

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?

“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.

Bananas

Studio Works

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!

Fishie

Fishie
Oil on canvas
2003 (reworked 2016)

Picked up this old fishie today while playing with glazing techniques and gave it a nice blue tint. Added a fresh coat of yellow and voila! It’s ready to swim again.

Sometimes it’s nice to pick up something and allow it to open a floodgate of memories. Reworked this old piece from my early days today. I miss painting these faces.
