There are many butterflies that shine so much that they know they are butterflies,

Rice fields are everywhere in the Philippines, and just gazing at them soothes the Filipino’s very soul.
Rice’s white purity cleanses their soul,
Rice’s daily sustenance gives them life,
Rice’s core value simply represents Love!
To the painter this field of rice represents that Love:
Love that touches a Filipino’s heart and soul,
A common love that binds them as if each was a grain of rice in the field,
And most importantly; Love for a very special woman:
The love for a Nanay so pure that she exemplifies the soul cleansing essence of a rice field,
The love of a woman that,...

Walnuts are hard and not easy to crack,
They seem cold and uninviting but they carry a scrumptious and nutritious gift inside them.
Mary your town identifies with Walnuts and you share them with me as a token of friendship…
This painting represents that beautiful token and speaks to the strength of our friendship—
Like walnuts it is super strong and hard to crack,
It is everlasting and resilient…even if many miles separate us, I will always remember and appreciate you;
And like the gift of the walnut our friendship is flavourful and vibrant and protected by a hard...

I met him in the twilight of his life,
A darkish time full of turmoil, anguish, and constant change,
A time most people start seeking retirement and peace…
But also a time full of colours even amidst the impending night!
He was all things to me:
Dark,
Colourful,
Vibrant,
Mysterious,
Kind,
Distant,
Close, and at times; as open as if I was his confessor,
Always caring—
This painting captures all that he was and all that he will forever be for me!
Richard will always be a marvel, and vibrant, and colourful to me,
Even when dealing with the dark tones...

In Eastern philosophy the Water Lily means purity, spontaneous generation, and divine birth;
This painting represents divine birth because it was created for a beauty so pure that she inspired the birth of another beauty….
From generosity a Water Lily was spontaneously generated, to show with its beauty, the appreciation in the heart of the painter.
Its pink symbolizing the gentle femininity of its inspiration that balanced the painter’s world,
The sprawling pedals representing the expansive size of her pure heart,
The green aura of leaves representing the great kindness that charitably...

My humble beginning starts with a painting of a
humble life,
Painting calls to me and I cannot stop myself from
painting,
I paint for me with no regards for others’ praises as
I create for my own joy!
Every action I take is new and exciting,
I do not know about paints or brushes or lighting,
but each discovery spurs me on,
Each stroke brings me closer to a deep fulfillment I
did not expect,

My first effort were twins for a very
special person,
One painting was not enough because
I feel so much, I chose the royalty of
Flowers because their royal nature, I
chose it because its simple beauty contrasts their
complexity, I chose it because together they are
singly beautiful and meaningful,
But together they are stronger and show the
strength of my affection.

The sun is everlasting in our lives,
The yellow daisy shines like a bright
sun,
I made this painting for you because in
your own way,
You have become my guiding light in China,
Like the sun you have brighten my life with all of
your help,
I feel that in you I have someone that will light my
way when I need light,
You have always given me all I have asked of you
and that is why,
In just a few days you became as everlasting as the
sun in my life,
The painting I gave you is but a small statement of
my appreciation,
But it does show that bright sunshine I see coming
from your giving...

Maidenne.....If you see love in this painting
then I have done a great painting,
For each stroke of my brush was done for
you with great joy in my heart,
Each ray of light that reflects it into your
eyes shows you my appreciation for you,
Each time you look at it you will look into my heart
and see your place there!
I hope you like it as much as I do, but more than for
a painting—
For all that you mean to me!
