TITLE: "A BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY DAY"SIZE: 12" x 20"- MEDIUM: OIL ON CANVAS
This painting is about a typical country side setting in the Philippines. The road is unpaved and muddy. Sometimes wet. The common transportation is a wagon wheel pulled by a carabao. In the background are typical nipa huts ,blue skies and NO smog.
RHODA AND EBB: This summer I have been away from my paintbrushes pursuing other things like traveling, scrapbooking and spending time with grand children. On this post, I'd like to share one of my past paintings. I gave this oil painting to a good friend named Rhoda. We are good friends since high school days. We didn't go to the same high school but our pathways crossed. We met though a Christian group known as Inter-School Christian Fellowship during a summer conference in Baguio City. After we graduated from high school we lost track of each other. I immigrated to California, U.S.A. and she immigrated to Lynwood, Washington. Somehow, we reconnected via e-mail and had resumed our interrupted friendship. Three years ago, Rhoda, Ben (hubby) and family visited us in our Valencia home during their trip to Los Angeles, Disneyland & Universal Studios. Last year(2008) my husband & I visited them in their home. I was happy to be reconnected to her and family and of course, to this old painting of mine. It was hanging in their family room. This was our photo together w/ the painting in the back.
"I thank God, my friend for the blessing you are.....for the joy of your laughter...the comfort of your prayers...the warmth of your smile."
