Digital Painting: Old Man

Friday, September 14th, 2007

Old age is something we all have to confront. Some take it graciously, and some try every means available to conceal it. Yet, I believe we do not grow absolutely or chronologically. We grow sometimes in terms of aspects and dimension, getting old in one feature or characteristic, and not in another; we grow therefore unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations. We are part of a biological process called Aging, but we can choose to be Forever Young.

Hi, Rey. I didn’t know anything about painting but sure I do appreciate those kind of artwork and this one I see as beautifully well done. The essay is very well written as well…

These things are like self- healing for me. To be able to paint, draw and shoot give me and escape for the frenzy of work.

tina:
It is. It’s just that growth in body doesn’t mean growth in mind.

Well, last weekend while walking in the streets of Naga some college girls called me “daddy” instead of “kuya” or “Joe” … so yes it was kind of eyeopener….
Sure sign I am getting old.
So maybe soon they will call me “lolo”… (((

I guess that is life!

Nice “painting”.

sidney:
here in singapore, they call the old men “uncles” and “aunties”. Anyway, “daddy” in not that bad. My wife calls me by that. *wink* hehe.

Ms. B:
Yeah, it’s done completely in the computer using Corel Painter, with a stylus pen/tablet. using mouse is a bit harder.

I think anyone can do it. It’s just that it takes a long time to practice.

and tragedy happens when we choose not to accept the wisdom the sometimes comes with aging.

i love what you wrote. it’s so true, how we can grow in other aspects and yet remain stagnant in some ways too. growing old is a part of life talaga… the more i realized this as i see my parents are not getting any younger… me too.

This is a nice digital painting. Amazing!

I like the way you describe how we age. It’s unavoidable and like a quote I once heard; “we all grow old gracefully”.
