81-2546 – Mary with her back to the pool

On Christmas Day we had a family get together at a resort called Sa Kamay Ni Maria Resthouse, Los Banos, Laguna. There are so many of us now (partners, more children, extended family), that there isn’t enough space for us all to gather in one of our houses/apartments, so a nearby resort with lots of space and a pool (heated by natural springs) seemed like the best solution. I loved the resort as it had so many quirky and unusual figurines, statues and objects hanging on the walls…it was hard to know where to start sketching, I could have sketched for days!

71-2320 – Goldfish pond

Here is another re-do sketch (of my sketch number No.61-1997 done last March) for inclusion in the event at #ArtInTheParkPH, where I am putting up three sketches with #UskManila. This pond in the development where we live, is stocked with big golden carp..if you look carefully I included three.
