I'm on a lull again... Nothing has struck me for the past few days. I would really like to pick up my brushes again but I don't want to force myself to paint because I know that doing so would only turn out a disaster... On the lookout for something inspiring...

I must have done hundreds of paintings, sketches and drawings since I started doing them just for fun. I could only imagine what would've happened to all those works had I not have the habit of giving them away.

Yeah, just I gave them away to whomever was able to appreciate them. I guess that still holds true until today because I didn't hesitate to part with the Carabao Park picture when friend Angel hinted that she liked it so much (she had no idea that it's just a few points bigger than a 5R photograph blowup).

Anyway, it's the creative process that I really enjoy. The final product is just a bonus. I think that's the primary reason why I've got lots of other half-finished works that, sadly, would not see a finishing touch.

First post for March.

This image should be familiar to Los Banos people. It's been a long-held belief among students that climbing onto the carabao, drawing, sketching or even taking a photograph of it would assure that one would not be able to graduate from UP. I never believed it. I've drawn it several times while I was studying at UP (even way back during high school) and taken countless of photographs of it during college but I still managed to graduate (although not in time, come to think of it).
