GLIMPSES OF MY HOMELAND
Mountain Rice, Brewed Coffee & Dried Fish
the mangmang
echoes at early morn
rousing the villagers
from a distant sleep.
scent of brewed coffee
soaring
dried fish and upland rice
inviting:
a humble meal, a humble life,
a humble dream.

Holed Ceiling
the morning sun
peeps
through the slits
of my nipa roof
touching my face
gently
like a child’s
delicate fingers

Wow, thanks a lot for appreciating my works. That's a great suggestion and maybe in due time I can reproduce some of my works not only as card but also poster and limited prints edition.
Thanks again and best regards,
Danny
just viewed your paintings again. they really take our breath away. we were just talking about them here in our department. may i give a suggestion? maybe you could reproduce them as greeting cards like the unicef cards. that way, more people would be able to enjoy the beauty of your magical hands.
For a more accessible medium on paper - pencil, ball pen and india ink are great mediums. Charcoal pencil is also okay, except that it is limited in fluidity on lines unless you're using brush and powder charcoal.
For oil painting, which is more expensive, you can buy cheaper oil tube if you're just beginning to paint.
A drawing a day, will enhance your skill in due time.
Best,
Danny
i love basilan soooo much..and am proud that I came home to serve my own.
