Paloma

As per the image description, I gave the original of this painting away to Paloma. She very kindly bought me two bottles of cold San Miguel Beer in appreciation.

Actually, this was only a practise painting. I used to go around the bars of Ermita, in Manila and get the girls to allow me to use their photos for these practise paintings. I always gave the results away - until, one day, a well-know artist friend of mine, Mr. Norberto Carating, advised me not to give any more away. Since then, I have never sold a thing. I am keeping all my recent paintngs for an exhibition that I would like to hold on Ermita, Manila some day...

Anyway, I am always open to commissions. I could do a reproduction of the above painting - or do something completely new from any digital image that you would like to send me.

All paintings are on an "approval" basis. IE, if you don't like the results, there is no compulsion to buy - but the painting and the copyright then remains mine, to be used for any purpose that I may desire.

I can do a 12x16" (30x40cm) pastel on paper for 3,500 Philippine Pesos only

and a

19x25" (48x63.5cm) pastel on paper for 5,000 Philippine Pesos

Prices do NOT include the frame or shipping.
