good day, everyone..
I saw a whale shark again yesterday while aboard  a pump boat going for swimming with my friends.
You could tell easily if there's one ,-there's this flock of seabirds, going around in this area of water.
The creature feeds on krills- a tiny organism that look like shrimps,when its around its color is reddish brown.There are also other fishes like jack fish, scud and small tuna, all are participating in the feast.
So I jump into the water and found this 80 foot long gentle creature

Unfortunately I don't have an underwater camera, but same excitement are expressed in this acrylic painting I did 3 years ago:

Faith

sway with the wind

After seven years of staying in an island resort  as resident artist, it still really hard to find an inspiration.I thought staying in an island could silent my screaming voice to look and search for subjects to become my focal point, but still I am drowned by familiar sights, that i see everyday..

I should have created a blog a long time ago but, everyday life here is distracting, even though there's an internet connection. Life itself is always manifesting in everything..even nature,..there is always start and end to everything.The cycle in its redundancy, become a common place, albeit monotonous.
The wind tonight is cold and stale, did chance empathize with me? or its a mockery that we all living things should be contented to sway with the wind?

My painting above I created in 2007 speaks well of my present condition..
