A Painting for Amce!


This is a still life composition for my only sister Amce who is a nun. On top of the table is a bible, a rosary bracelet, a rose on a vase, baby Jesus and a small Christmas tree. These are the items I thought might be on top of Amce's table when she is in Iloilo. This is my Christmas gift for her. And I hope Amce will remember me when she sees this painting I made for her hanging on her wall.

Christmas Star and Angel!


This is just one of the Christmas decorations we have in our house. It is a Christmas star with an angel hanging below it:



I made another version but this time with my favorite Snowman!





And this is my mother's work.




And this is my teacher Lui's work.



All works use oil pastels on one yellow felt paper divided into four.

Sunset: A Collaborative Work



For this session, my teacher Lui painted with me. It is a visual exercise. We worked on two separate illustration boards. I drew half of the objects I wanted on my board and Lui continued the other half on her board.


Lui must follow my drawing concept to complete the painting which I later titled as Sunset. Mine is on the right and Lui is the one on the left board.



Painting my side of the board.
And my finished work in less than an hour:




Now, Lui has to do the left side of the painting:




And her finished work:




And the finished paintings when put together became one work!
