“Ten Days of Reflection Day #2

( Sunset Fall )

( 16 x 20 inch oil on canvas )

This is one of the fastest painting i made,

it literally took me just 30 mins, and i like it when that happens, and the picture is so clear in my mind that once i touch the canvas with a brush, i stop thinking and let the creativity flow by it self, sometimes its like a chess puzzle and sometimes its just like a walk in the park. I noticed that The more time i think about a subject the less time i use to execute it. And i like using this method with my clients as well, i like for them to think the same way and make them excited on the painting they wanted, then its up to me to make it beautiful for them which gets me excited as well.

I gave this art to my Dad

My parents had no idea that i was doing art, they only knew about it when i was on my 1st year of painting at the age of 33, no one knew that i could make art, even i am surprised as well,and it feels as if i lived another life, a life full of inspiration and joy, thats why im so thankful to God for this gift. Now art gave a plan, a goal, and the good hing about it, is you can witness the evolution as it happens. I believe someday God has a plan for me and my art which i dont know yet, but for sure i will be prepared by then.

Going back to my parents,

after they discovered my skill i let them choose what painting he wanted and i will give it to him personally delivered, and he liked this so much and another bamboo painting, im not really close to my dad when i was a kid, couldn’t even remember him praising me for any good thing i have done, and i was so touched when he told me for the longest time that “Son, im so proud of your achivements and your art” it made a huge impact in my life hearing those words, and from then on, i made sure that i praise my kids for every good thing that they have done, i encourage every parent to always complement your kids because it goes a long way trust me, i have been there and im sure you had the same experience as well.

this is my Dad his name is Emilio and he is 86 yes old and i just visited him in the Philippines back in April 2017, he was so ill and severely dehydrated when i came home but i managed somehow to hydrate him by starting an IV line and nursed him although out my stay and he had recovered already thank you God
