Six acrylic pen and ink pieces in 3 months. You would think that is chicken feed if you churn out 1 piece a day, but that is not so, little grasshopper!
First, is a monstrous 7' X 5' piece which I have started and and is painted with my 'trademark' small and detailed style which, truth be told, takes about a week to complete 6" - so I have a lot of work ahead of me. It's also styled in the old Philippine-Spanish style houses (think Vigan, old Ilo-ilo) that is tedious and eye-straining. But that is also my strength.
The show is even more exciting considering I have four more pieces of smaller size to do to support the large piece. The Xavier Alumni Arts Guild is my birth child, so if this group gains fame, and receives funding, it would be a coup. We have even bigger plans for the guild, but we first learn how to walk before we run, so it's: 1)get the space in the Xavier website; 2)get the exhibit going; and 3)funding.
Sounds simple? On paper it is. But the logistics and the work needed is nightmarish. However, I have promised to be the driving force behind this endeavor, so it is my energy, along with the support of Seb, Bob and the others who will help get this thing attain wings and take flight.
More on the show later. I gotta go paint.
