Homework

I painted this from my childhood memories.

I was in fifth grade when my family moved to the house, which my parents had built for us. It was in a barrio around two miles away from the town proper. The house was barely finished when we moved in. We did not even have electricity. It took months before we eventually got the connection to the local power grid. During those months, we only had kerosene lamps for lighting.

I still remember myself, studying, reading, and preparing my homework at night with the help of those kerosene lamps.

This is a 16" X 20" acrylic painting on canvas. I finished this painting last Sunday, August 25, 2013.

Harvest Time and Kids Eating Mangoes

"Harvest Time" is actually a version of another painting called "Kids Eating Mangoes" by Cyril Maza.  It shows a group of teenage kids having fun and eating mangoes, with a farmer and some farm animals around them, depicting a typical farm scene in some rural villages in the Philippines.

A nipa hut is shown standing not so far away from where the kids are. There is also a carabao, a couple of ducks, a rooster, a dog, a couple of pigs, piles of rice straws; as well as trees, mountains, and rice fields, in the background.

The original is a 20" X 30" acrylic painting on canvas, painted by husband and wife, Cyril Maza and Lorna Llanes D. Maza (LLDM).
