The gift

Hartelijk gefeliciteerd!! Godfather :) 

A special one

As a way of honoring one of the two extraordinary gentlemen in my life, celebrating Father's Day. For my dear Godfather back in NL. I made this ink illustration of one of the most amazing Dutch Engineering works of all time. The Oosterscheldekering in the North of Holland. I was astounded with everything i saw when godfather and i was there for a day tour. Wonderful memories to recall on a special day like today. :)

getting back and something Dutch

It's been a while since i work on my paintings. I have had some projects that's left unfinished..not new to me. :D Well for the busy week that has ended, i am glad to finish one of those oil paintings.  It's from my Dutch holidays, a visit at Prinsenhof in Delft with godfather way back couple years ago. I have had wonderful memories with it- especially the ones when godfather in his own special amusing quirky ways.. (:  did re-enact how the Noble Prince Willem van Oranje was being killed right @ the actual spot of the stairway of his residence. It's nowadays houses the Municipal museum. The old masterpiece paintings are totally grand and amazing. Wonderful memories i so much cherish.And it's always worthwhile to be getting back to painting again. 

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend ahead! 

Carpe diem! (:
