There is this feature on Facebook called On this Day.You get to see old photos and shout outs you posted several years ago. Then I saw an album with the great Filipino artist Manny Baldemor. I know I blogged about him here before that I was simply overjoyed seeing our photos again. I copied two. I was still into cross stitching when I took photos of the event.
Two of his paintings Fruits of Labor and Good Harvest were translated into cross stitch. It was a lovely afternoon spent with fellow cross-stitchers and art enthusiasts. Below are the original paintings among so many that he did as an artist and a great painter.
Good Harvest was also translated into cross-stitch by DMC thread.
He is the first famous Filipino painter that I’ve met personally. and he was so gracious with his time entertaining questions about his works.
