New updates about my subject, planning on shifting to painting lighthouses. Was inspired by my aunt's trip to Capones. Hopefully my painting of the below subject would turn out to be something I wanted regardless of my imagined added effects.

Yellow
Took a while to finish this one. Been busy with my studies, events and volunteer programs. I sure do hope I nailed this sunflower art this time and I feel kinda accomplished so hopefully you'll like it too.

Coastal Clean-Up and Awareness Concert
Been busy with lots of stuff recently. Sorry for this retro post?!
What: Coastal Clean-Up and Awareness Concert
When: February 6-7, 2010
Where: Alaminos, Hundred Islands, Pangasinan
Recently we did a program for the cleanliness of Pangasinan's coasts and for the awareness of the people to save and restore the coastal mangrove ecosystem.
WHAT IS THE IMPORTANCE OF MANGROVES:
Mangroves are trees and shrubs that grow in saline coastal habitats in the tropics and subtropics – mainly between latitudes 25° N and 25° S. The saline conditions tolerated by various species range from brackish water, through pure seawater (30 to 40 ppt), to water of over twice the salinity of ocean seawater, where the salt has become concentrated by evaporation (up to 90 ppt).
There are many species of trees and shrubs adapted to saline conditions. Not all are closely related, and the term "mangrove" may be used for all of them, or more narrowly only for the mangrove family of plants, the Rhizophoraceae, or even more specifically just for mangrove trees of the genus Rhizophora.
Mangroves form a characteristic saline woodland or shrubland habitat, called mangrove swamp, mangrove forest, mangrove or mangal. Mangals are found in depositional coastal environments where fine sediments (often with high organic content) collect in areas protected from high energy wave action. They occur both in estuaries and along open coastlines. Mangroves dominate three quarters of tropical coastlines.

Thank God for the backstage pass... LOL XD

What: Walls of Hope Restoration Program
When: December 20, 2009
Where: Philippine Children's Medical Center (PCMC)
The use of imagery and color can affect the way a person feels. Studies show that therapeutic murals in hospitals provide holistic healing to any child who is about to be examined or given treatment. The presence of these colorful murals is also a powerful way of relieving stress and easing the hearts and minds of its visitors...
Our wall's main theme is the mythical creature Ibong Adarna...
Looks really great from afar...

I have this strange nagging feeling that my art has become denser. I should be more happier of the result but I'm not sure why I feel like something's missing... You tell me! Anyway here's my 6th masterpiece... Happy viewing! :3

Hydrangeas by the Well
At long last I was able to get a hold just a little of my time to finish this. I was not even sure if I still got that Van Gogh impact to it as my artistic momentum got halted for a long period due to unexpected Mafia Wars business. It was a bit off at first but overall I was satisfied with my work. Anyway, here it is...
