Abelardo Maceda, Filipiniana Portrait and Landscape Visual Artist
Thank you Pareng Michael Martinez for sending me this picture of Ocean pacific park, San Francisco. I got a lot of work to do in detailing specially the rock formation. Salamat pre. Ang ganda ng view.
Finished painting.
Broken Cylindrical Pot, glued , restored and made it as my canvas.in this painting i used my Tranquil landscape painting as my reference and made it in one day.
Sa palagay ko hindi na ito tataniman ni Arlene (my wife).
UPDATE: Oct 29, 2020
Done varnishing the cylindrical pot… lalagyan lang pala ng payong????
Sunflowers end up facing the sun, but they go through a lot of dirt to find their way there.

Sulat ni Alice, ang aking hipag:
In 2015, a regular Gaddi family bonding activity made Abe re-discover his talent for art and painting.
Since then, he continued to paint and his works over time evolved into the beautiful pieces posted here and displayed at his home gallery and the many homes where his paintings now hang.
My smallest painting ever, on process…Iniisip ko pa ang ilalagay na mga bagay bagay.Challenging kasi 3.5 x 5 inches lang.

Framed!
Tiny painting, lighter size
I painted this during the ECQ, headboard ng kama, it’ s quite big, 29 x 75 inches.
It looks so different with just the click of a switch.
We never expected the pandemic but we have to deal with it. Let’s take a deep breath, step back, and change our perspective.
Good Morning , oras na naman ng pagpinta
Ito ang view mismo dito sa Antipolo tuwing umaga
