It was Yuletide season, a good time for another family reunion in the Philippines. We celebrated Christmas Eve at my brother Danny and his wife Cindy’s house. Cindy’s sisters Annie and Bettina hosted Christmas lunch. Our holiday meals were both delightful and generous. It was time for some physical vacation activities. Our destination – Coron in the province of Palawan.

Coron is remote. We took three modes of transportation to get there - by air, land and sea. Our big family tour group flew from Manila to Busuanga Island just north of the island of Palawan, then rode two vans through hills and dirt roads, before taking two motor boats to reach our secluded vacation hideaway by the beach. The skillful boatmen waded and pushed the two small crafts as we passed through shallow waters between mangroves.

Painting metallic objects used to be one big mystery for me especially during my early years. Though pigments such as gold or silver existed and were sold in art stores, I found out they were not exactly the magic ingredients needed to create realistic images of golden goblets or silver vases on canvas.

After a quick research, I came to understand the appearance of any metal with all its luster and shine would have to be simulated using ordinary tube colors alone without the need of going outside the color wheel in search of rare pigments.
