    Scruffy - One

    From the album: My early attempts at pastel painting

    One hundred percent "askal" (mongrel - lit. "street dog"!) This is my good friend Scruffy, one of the dogs on a farm where I sometimes stay in Mindanao, in the Southern part of the Philippines. Scruffy askal he may well be, but he's such a lovely dog! Having spent 99.9 percent of his life tied up on a short piece of string, he was made-up with me taking him for walks all around the rice fields! (Hence the look of sheer anticipation on his face in this painting; which was based on one of my photographs.) Rembrandt, Schmincke and Unison pastels on Dominion St. Armand 100% flax, hand-made watercolor paper. 29" x 21" (73cm x 53cm) To purchase a high quality print of this image, please visit: ArtWanted.com Various gift items and dozens of personalized products such as mouse pads, t-shirts, greeting cards, mugs, puzzles and a lot more besides are also available, customized with this image at ArtWanted.com

    Excellent! Lovely view. Nice foreground. Beautifully framed. Subtle (early morning?) colors. Superb photography... I love it!

    Nice view! I can almost smell the fresh country air! I must admit, though... I am not a great fan of the tilted horizon technique - but then again, I'm just an old-fashioned fogie, so don't let that put you off!!

    baguio...

    Is this the Kennon Road? (I don't even know if that is the right spelling?) But I do remember being terrified, sitting in the back seat of a bus one time when I went to Baguio... Every time we went round one of those hairpin bends, my ass was literally hanging over a several hundred meters shear drop into the valley below!

    foot trail

    Wow! Nice place! I like the tricycle! I also love the countryside - especially in the Philippines. By the way, I like your idea of taking a photo whilst walking... Very innovative; I'd never have thought of that!

    foot trail

    Wow! Nice photo! I like this... Excellent composition. And it's a static scene but it has movement - since, (presumably?) the photograph was taken from a moving car or other vehicle?

  19. This one is for the boys... (Courtesy of my good friend, JGC...) Five Rules For A Happy Life 1. It's important to have a woman who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job. 2. It's important to have a woman who can make you laugh. 3. It's important to have a woman who you can trust and who doesn't lie to you. 4. It's important to have a woman who is good in bed and who likes to be with you. AND... 5. It's very, very important that these four women don't know each other.
