SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!

I generally don't like having my pictures taken.
But this is different, I had no choice.
So, here it goes.
Some pictures from that night.
(Thank you Christine and Ted for the photos)

Shameless plugging: the shirt I am wearing is available at
www.canvasdownstream.com
I'll have the other images in my exhibit placed there soon. Check it out!



A couple of hours before the opening
Notice the beautiful blooms by Teddy.
When he found out that callas are a personal favorite, he used them for the show.
THANKS TED!

thanks my friend for granting my request.

ps
alam mo, i was looking forward to meet your nephews pa naman, wala pala sila dun when i came. i guess, it is past their bedtime na, at school day pa kinabukasan.

akala ko yung "MI BODA", was your creation when i saw it... kaya pala parang iba yung features nung groom and bride... akala ko you meant it that way, kasi di ba sa blog mo before, the story was about your mom and dad... that was my second favorite, next to the "bald boy playing" series.

teka, parang mas mahaba pa yung post script kesa sa main body ng letter... hehehehe

@ bert : it's a school night. my nephews (my little critics) can't come.

what do you mean about MI BODA? it is my work and i decided to have it prominently placed at the window. it's the first thing one notices when passing by the gallery.

by the way, the other night, a young couple passed by the gallery window. the female told her boyfriend, "look oh. when we get married i want something like that done for us." (while she was pointing at the painting)

the guy looked at it and told her, "para namang litratong ilalagay sa ibabaw ng kabaong. (it looks like a picture placed on top of a coffin)"

i swore i wanted to throw the bottle of water i was holding at the guy. but then again, that's his point of view, and i laughed to myself.

thank you for coming bert! :-)

Hi! Thanks for sharing your art show.Wish I could fly to Manila but couldn't do it sooner. I felt like I was there without the jet-lag. I noticed those lovely calla lilies, a reminder of Diego Riviera's favorite flowers. By the way, I am proud to post your latest art-show on my blog today. Hope you check it out. Good-luck on your next art show.

palma tayona said...

@ ebb : calla lilies are my personal favorite amongst all flowers. my friend Teddy specially placed them for the show when he found out it's my favorite.

thank you so much ebb! :-)
