Day One Painting - 30 Paintings in 30 Days

When my brother and his wife visited Manila, my mom, my siblings and their families and I went along for a ride when they went to Bicol which is my father and sister-in-law's home town.  

Bicol is a place south of Manila where the famous perfect coned Mayon Volcano is located.

We went on a tour of the ruins caused by Mayon Volcano's eruption in 1849. Below is a photo of bell tower what was left of Cagsawa Church. 

On the way to Bicol we passed by a small town in Quezon and I saw this very old house. It's a Filipino house typical of the Spanish era.  It has a big staircase going up the main entrance of the house.  Lots of big windows that have panels made of capiz. 

With modernization these houses are now a rare sight but some places like Vigan have done a good job of preserving and restoring these beautiful architecture.

I love windows and doors and for Day One, I'd like to show my impression of an old Capiz window. 

Sorry for the delay.  As a good friend always says "Life happens".  Here's my Day One Painting.

I entered this painting at the Eagan Art House Harvest of Art.  So if you want to see the original you may visit it at the Harvest of Art event on September 8.

Enjoy!

On to Day Two and Three! 

Haneda to Seattle to the Twin Cities Adventure

I'm so sorry that I haven't posted my first painting. I promise to share tomorrow.  Hopefully my painting will arrive on time from Seattle. I painted it in Manila and checked it in with my painting supplies.

After having spent a few hours of good dinner and watching Eagles concert with my niece and her lovely husband,  I took the train from Asakusa to Haneda.  It was a full hour train ride.  Then at 12 midnight took the flight from Haneda to Seattle.

Haneda is a nice and huge airport.  Very busy processing late night and early morning flights. 

 

While waiting for my flight I walked around and found these interesting pay phones.  Love the color.  They also have a mobile phone charging station but I wasn't able to take a pic.

Right now, I'm waiting for my flight to the Twin Cities and making full use of time updating my blog.  I wish I didn't check-in my painting supplies.  I could have completed my second painting.  I'm not too worried, I'll catch up.

Still on the Road

I'm still on the road so I haven't posted my first painting.

Arrived in Tokyo a few hours ago then had dinner with my niece and her husband.

Right now we're watching an Eagles concert at their beautiful house. Relaxing and getting ready for my next journey.  I'll be taking the train to Haneda airport to take a flight back to the US. 

Will post when I get home. 

Day One - 30 Paintings in 30 Days

The time has come. This is the first day (technically 12hours ago was 1Sep here :) and I'm all excited to paint!  I've done a few sketches and one will be my reference for my "Day One" painting.

I'm heading back home in a few hours. Will be on the road/air again and offline  for a good part of my travel.  

I'll see you on day 2 from the other side of the world. 

Are you ready?
