I just can’t resist posting this lovely painting of Anita Magsaysay Ho, (Seated Women Sewing) a gifted and talented artist who is known for “her paintings that depict figurative abstracts of women at everyday tasks.” Four years ago, Bank of the Philippine Islands, where I used to work, started publishing pictures of paintings that they own via a lovely journal and my daughter who works there now gifted me with a copy. She has given me copies of these journal/diary/calendar that I collect since then. This year, it’s called A Legacy of Art (a treasury of paintings by Artists of National Prominence from the BPI Art Collection). I am almost afraid to write on its pristine pages because I like the paintings that they publish there. Here’s one more entitled Old Farmer With Hat by our National Artist Fernando Amorsolo done in 1929, oil on canvas.
Hi Arlene
is it possible that an artist like magsaysay-ho have two sketches of one painting. i have also a “two women sewing” with her signature instead 1973 not 1990. or is mine a hoax? i hope to hear from you

I am not familiar with the subject Jay. Those paintings published by Bank of PI in their journal belong to their own collections and they are all authentic. They feature different artists every year. I saw some of those paintings hanging at the 1851 Club of the bank and they are all amazing art pieces.
