Artistry on Divine Coincidences




I've never impressed myself in years....caught the technique by divine coincidences again and I've realized that this is how things work for me. It was intended to be an impressionist approach but after laying down the colors, I saw the possibilities...it could even go further to hyper-realism but I want it this way to retain my insignia. 
    Now really, what is it with paper that I can do better tricks than using canvas? 
   To hear the voices of colors between each strokes...to feel is everything. And I can see the magic, the mysteries, and the wonderful works of God The Father better. 

   God came right on time...He provided. In Jesus name.

Obando Rediscoveries


Saving money for this trip to Obando,  Bulacan to meet my artist friends...by the way, the first artist that I've really met when I first enter the art scene was Vince Roque and Joselito Jimenez. And since then, still the closest artist friend I had; also with Bro. Edmund Mamuyac (who live in La Union) for which another trip I'm planning, probably next year. I came up front into the art world for the sake of friendship above having connections. 

   Oct 27-28...On the painting above (that guy on the right) is Rolly Alcantara who was fishing some Bangus (milkfish) for our dinner that night, he welcomed me warmly while I was waiting for Vince and Jose to arrive when I took my "just visitation" in Obando. I was so surprised that Sir Rolly has improved a lot on his paintings and can now create human figure...and selling too, making a name of his own. I also admire him as a person, witty and funny all the time. 
   I spent my overnight in Sir Rolly's humble home studio after drinking with Master JJ and Vince. We talk on various things...mostly arts.... and the people therein

    Some of what I've heard was heart-breaking for someone I admired so much... a close friend eaten by the system.






Not sure if I'll finish my work....maybe one day....

The work of Master JJ....

A Grand Play

It is because the life that I've chose...no regrets. I'm willing to cross those path that are often thorny and studded with disappointment. I persevere because this is me...the very essence of my existence, the valued gift of The Creator. Thank you Father God for choosing me to play this part.
   Life is filled with Divine Coincidences... some may call it randomly accidental but for me those tiny details form the big picture of a grander plan. 
   Now really am I part of the plan? That piece of a puzzle. I still believe I play an important role. Somehow. Somewhere.
   There's a reason for everything... although sometimes I feel insignificant. Yet, I can not imagine myself not being an artist. 

   I've stopped believing in the Electoral system many years ago, the whole package down to the voting public. 

   Are you sure...really really sure that this nation is ready for a Disciplinarian? Reading the Headlines, I guess this nation deserve the discipline she is asking for. 
Change should come from within, but then again, change is easier said than done.

It was beautiful then.....





Halt !

 
The fire extinguished very quickly before I realized that certain realities can not easily be altered easily in one push. Even good things must come to an end or at least halt.  


Re-think and re-organizing my thought once again. 


The Full Cycle

The Luck could be falling into proper places now...and now as I can see clearer that God's way is always better. I asked for an Exhibit you gave a Gallery. More than what I asked for and expected, Marilyn a.k.a. Apple wanted me partner to manage the Art Gallery Cafe (Famous Food Bucket) somewhat like a curator.
I don't know why people trust me on these things. I'm not even expert or well verse on these matters. Perhaps it's because I care so much. 
♫ Oh yes! I'm the great pretender...pretending that I'm doing well.... ♪ 

Below, was my MC done in oil and paper... probably I'm beginning to understand how it works.... now maybe I can decide to be a true impressionist. They've just given me that title. 

I'm still trying to grasp what is it all about....I made my move...could be...and hopefully.... international.... 

Some people believe that life is a weird cycle but I don't. Cycles goes nowhere...it stagnate the person. Life should be spiraling outward....learning from the past and at the expanding outward. 

The Power You Have, as it is

One day, you will have your voice heard...wait for the right moment when all the Noisy crowd ran out of things to say.
One day, they will turn around and have a second look at what you are trying to say....
Keep on painting.... keep believing...
My father believe that, we all deserve at least an hour of Fame in our lifetime. But are you ready when that time comes?
Into my self-analysis once again....it seems a crack that I've overlooked is seeping in to distort my claim to fame or at least enjoy these recent achievement. I need to reconnect with my values...how to enjoy the fruit of these outpouring blessings. I don't have to be guilty or shy away....this had been what I really wished all along.

So why do I feel tired, consumed, and less expectant? The real pain in my aging body... and yet many much older persons are stronger and living the fullness of life but now why me? What was it all about that I feel drain....
I've been suffering from unknown depression even if I have reach certain heights. Yep, I knew all of these already that I can simply change my perception and ev'rything will simply change...at least on my mindset. How to maintain that joy? Perhaps, I was always to caring.... for others.

♫What’s there beyond sleep, eat, work in this cruel life

Ain't there nothing else 'round here but human strife

They say it’s difficult
Yes, stereotypical
You gotta be conventional
You can’t be so radical.....♪ ♪



It is when your material expectation didn't materialized. It is that uncoordinated thoughts again, and hesitation, and guilt. For no reason at all....
Circumstances....and true blue realities....and limited resources.
Never set expectations on those things that are beyond your control; like acceptance, fame, wealth etcetera. Those things are outside of us. You can Not expect everyone to Like you...there will always be haters remember. Like hoping to win a Contest, the power to win is not in your hands but in the hands of the judges. The best thing to do, is actually to do your best.........period. It can be achieved and it is within your power to control. Rejoice already when you are able to submit your entry. Call every finish artwork an achievement. Celebrate every step you have taken. 
If you set your goal that requires another persons approval, be ready to accept disapproval. The proper mindset should be, it is enough that you have communicated your request to that person.

Madalas ang tanong ng baguhang Artist, magkano ko kaya ito maibi-benta? Tanong muna natin kung sino kaya ang bibili? Ehek Mali... 

Ang tamang tanong, para saan ang lahat ng mga ginagawa kong ito.... dapat meron tayong Vision...at ang vision ay hindi lang dapat magka-pag exhibit or maka-benta. State your cause...Like, para makapag-aral ang mga anak ko, makapag-donate sa mga cancer victim... panis na yung dahilan na gusto ko i-share ang talent ko. Eh di wag mo benta kung gusto mo lang i-share di ba? 
Dapat mag-open ka muna ng bank account sa Heaven.


We don't define artists by their tools, for tools are only there to serve the message. Art is communication. And real communication comes from the heart. That's the only call I want to answer.- Crista Cloutier

Ang Art minsan parang comedy yan. Nasa bato ng punchline.

My Share on MAP for Climate Change


 

Is really billing that important? And oh wow, Ambafrance Manille used my artwork as poster design... that was way ahead that what I expected. All the Glory I'm bringing this back to Father God in Heaven. Now I have the voice...or maybe starting to have that voice. This had been a long wait...in fervent prayers with literally blood, sweat, and tears. When opportunity strikes, cease it! Ask for the Lord Jesus guidance...

Destiny are Results of Spontaneous Decisions

   Aldub love theme of Eat Bulaga's KalyeSerye is undeniably a phenomena. It just came....the series of event just pop out and maybe we can say  that's how destiny work.    Destiny are strings of spontaneous decisions. We can alter the course of our future through every single steps we will make. . . at this very moment.

I'm starting read again...re-educating myself on the artistic area of my life...in fact this is my entire life. Just found a perfect whisperer on this area, her name is Crista Cloutier and I've just signed to her mailing list and getting free resources and advise on her blog. So far, I'm filling in great info and advises from her and they seem to pedal up my energy...so I wrote something I've learned from her on my FB status...the essences by the way, to adopt inside the Philippine's art scenario.

Dahil may social media na. Sa mga struggling artist na kagaya ko. HUWAG na huwag kayo mag PM sa mga Gallery owner at mag send nang mga Artworks nyo. NO NO NO!!! Kahit kasing galing mo pa si Michaelangelo....Pustahan tayo DELETE ang aabutin nyan. Build a relationship first. Naka-bisita ka na ba personally sa shop nila? Nag-Like at comment ka na ba sa post nila? Ang ibig ko lang sabihin, magpa-pansin ka ng hindi halata. Hwag yung garapal. Mga busy people ang mga yan! Promise. Kung talagang mahusay ka, sila ang magpi-PM sayo.... "Hello Fher, mag exhibit ka dito!" hehehehe.

The work you do, I mean, everything you do, must come from the essence of who you are. As an Artist, this is where I get my idea.... and inspiration. The artistic juices always flow from there.

   Once again.... I'm writing and re-reading what I've learned earlier in my life. Something very valuable and good statement to live by. So my mind re-reads it again:
   There is No such thing as Equality in the known Universe. Once everything becomes equal the system will collapse. That's how nature works. There is only symbiosis or mutual relationship....  we have to learn that basic law in everything we do. Remember how the problem starts when Lucifer wanted to be equal with the Godhead? Envy starts when we wish to be as rich as somebody else. Life becomes unfair when we compare our ability with another. Everyone is unique and special in his own way...don't dream for another person's destiny. 

   Duality and Trinity are Pagan Religious concept, I don't know why Christians is trying to tie-up this concept in their worship.   

   I was thinking, and that was right, thinking again....everything had been all emotional these past months (years?) ...as I was saying, what if I write a book. About how to fake a famous image....or How to be a Struggling Artist with Style. maybe something like that.... 

   Nah! You knew I would change my mind in the middle of nowhere. it is my weakness and at the same time the strength of my artwork.
