Surfs, Breeze, and Freezes

-

Business Trip up North with Master JJ. Monday Feb 10 we left for a mural project negotiated by Edmund...Oh a wowser place at San Juan, La Union. Dubbed as the surfing capital of the Philippines...or is it? I think it was Siargao...Anyway, it was such a lovely place. With the Mad Hatters of 4S:Master JJ, me, and Edmund this mural project somehow kickstart the good fortune for this year. 
   Ana the co-owner and wife of the Australian who funded and conceptualized this resort...was one of the nicest person I've met. A good manager I should say. Gave us free hotel accommodation for 3 nights with classy meal in the evening but in the afternoon are usually Ilocano veggies where they are known for. Plus open bar on beer. What can you ask for?

    Ohhhh the weather sculpting ice on my bones...truly cold somewhere around 15-17 degrees as the sea breeze swirls even in mid afternoon with the sparkling white surf. 
   
The finish product a 40.5 feet mural. Satisfied...


I learn a lot working with Master Jose Jimenez...he is truly a great guy.











Then we also visited Ric Sanchez up the mountains of Baguio City on February 14...a day for lovers, and SM was jammed pack with daters. It was an hour trip from Agoo, La Union to the summer capital. I just survive 11 degrees in the evening and probably much lower as it reaches dawn.

Test The Spirit where it is Coming from

I've been talking most of the time about "Testing Spirits" but have I really given careful analysis on this matter? How do we recognize where the Spirit is coming from? Previous to this article I've pointed out those things that a whistle-blower must come to accept. Thus, to a person who want to represent certain ideologies, vocation, or causes: he or she must first check his inner-self, whether we are standing in a firm foundation.  A good point that I want to stress on the article below is that, it is not only about recognizing the true intent of a Subject matter but also to carefully check our system as well.  There must be an evidence of Love and pure intention to truly help another person discover and understand the truth as well....to live according to the standard of God in Heaven.  Just to prove to another person you are right or that you are in the side of the Truth is not the ultimate purpose why  we share the Gospels but because we genuinely want others to c…

Reboot, Rebranded, Realize

Probably done with my self impose exile. Licking my own wound I should say what really transpired these past days, and weeks, and months which I painstakingly had to undergo to keep on going. I knew and understood what are my limitations and forces of influence by now, and though I am still at this phase of Acceptance, I believe it's about time to relaunch my Brand of Art. 
   I've been into self-evaluation, re-educating, and renewing my skill as a painter. It is either I paint for myself or hope something better happen. Either way,  I can't give up my core functionality. Following the lectures of Stefan Baumann reconfigured my thought process which had been decaying due to my own shortcoming. I would probably even do his homework which he assigns to his students. Great art coach that can repackage you as an artist. 

   So part of that is joining the art scene again. As if signaling was that out of the blue 4S is invited by FAS-Freedom Art Society once again on its 3rd Artis…
