When I started this blog, my intention was to write as much as I could about my favorite things in life: Travel, Art and Nature. Now that it’s been almost two years and counting since I have not hopped on a plane to explore different parts of the world, my interests have evolved to rocks and crystals, books and food. Until about a month ago when I visited Shambala, Silang, I rekindled my passion for art. These days, we’ve been going to different galleries and collecting art pieces for our home. D has always been very supportive, as he sees it like a treasure hunt. I love how time flies when we’re in a gallery, when we would not notice how long we’ve been staring in awe piece after piece.
While talking to artists, I learned about commissioned paintings. We came across the works of Jovan Benito, a Filipino artist, and I was in love. I did not need to convince D on having our first piece commissioned: a piece that would depict a favorite thing we do during our travels, and one of our best travel destinations. The first idea that came to mind was cycling, and for travel destination: Matsumoto, Japan.
This now hangs in our home office – an early Christmas gift that always makes me smile, and brings me happy thoughts that someday soon, we can do this again.
