Landscapes

I have always been fascinated by the great outdoors. Such blissful yet tranquil atmosphere consumes our senses! Though seeing the sky, mountain, sand, sea and rivers is already picture perfect, I think a little bit of human element makes it real. Here are some works that I did along with some works after Amorsolo and Monet. In terms of painting style, I believe impressionism wins in painting landscapes. Not only did it capture the fleeting colors of the day vividly but also the soul through which Nature seems to talk in the canvass. Such technique was developed in the earlier parts of this century and has created names for artists like Monet, Degas, Renoir and their contemporaries, even Van Gogh. For us here in the Philippines, such delicate light and sceneries are best captured in the works of Fernando Amorsolo.
