Evening Sky Painting Novels & Stories

Iyon ang unang pumasok sa utak ko nang maisip na gusto ko siyang gawan ng painting. Selcouth. That's what I want to name this artwork. Nilingon ko ang ibang mga naunang obra ko na nakasabit sa dingding ng aking kwarto. Apat ang mga iyon at pare-pareho ang sukat. Ang huling ginawa ko ay ang isang oil pastel painting. Kulay kahel ang kalangitan at nasa likod ng puno ang malaking bilog na buwan. May malaking bato sa magkabilang gilid nito.

She found that both Heaven and earth had sustained damage, and the place was so dark that she had to light her lamp to find out the extent of the havoc that had been wrought. Having ascertained this, she set to work at repairs. To this end she ordered her subjects to collect stones of five colors—blue, yellow, red, white and black. When she had obtained these, she boiled them with a kind of porcelain in a large caldron, and the mixture became a beautiful paste, and with this she knew that she could mend the sky. Now all was ready.

"I called this Breath, because for the first time in my life, I didn't feel the hand which used to choked me, or so I thought." Dumako siya sa sumunod na painting. "I named this Night And Day." It was a painting of a small bucket pouring white paints dividing the image into two: the upper was the night which was in black, blue and violet with a full moon, and different sizes of shining stars; the lower part is so bright with a rounded blazing sun. "It represents my two mothers with opposite personality but both giving light and inspiration to me." She darted her moonshine-like eyes to her mother and smiled fondly. Ngumiti pabalik ang kaniyang ina.

I locked the gate and the main door first before making my own ice coffee and go straight to the balcony. “What a peaceful night…” I whispered and hugged my arm because of the cold wind. I can see the beautiful building lights from afar. Inilapag ko ang iced coffee sa isang lamesa bago pumunta sa kwarto. Kinuha ko ang mga art materials na binigay sa’kin ni Beatrice. I arranged and assembled it all even the stand on my card board. I find this night a great opportunity to paint because it was relaxing. I sat on the chair and placed all the color paints that I will use in the table. Hindi ko na kailangan mag isip kung ano o sino ang ipipinta ko.

Red and orange skies, white cottons, and a golden ball of light. A huge masterpiece was painted across the vastness of heavens. It was ethereal—almost too unreal. What a good day to bask under the sun’s warmth while feeling the fresh and cozy crisp breeze of morning hitting the bareness of your skin.

"Nobody corrects him except Mom. Not bad, Four-Eyes." ​Michael blushed deeper. "Thanks, Boss." ​THE MESS (Art & Patricia) ​Sa terrace naman (naka-setup ang easel at paints), iba ang vibe. ​Art was painting the sky. Patricia was sitting on the floor, mixing colors. ​"Too much blue," Patricia commented. ​"It's the sky," Art argued gently. "It's supposed to be blue." ​"But skies aren't just blue," Patricia dipped her finger in a jar of orange paint. "Sometimes they're angry. Like this."

THIRD PERSON: Matapos ang lahat ng nangyari sa mag hapon, binigyan ulit ni Silas ng oras si Althea upang makapagpinta. Sa pangalawang pagkakataon, muli siyang humarap sa kanyang canvas—ngayon ay ang kalangitan na punong puno ng mga bituin naman ang kanyang naging inspirasyon. Pinuno niya ng mga nagkikislapang bituin ang bawat sulok ng kanyang obra, tila nilalagay sa pintura ang tahimik na himig ng gabi.

Xyvier stared at me before closing his eyes and started singing. Every time in my mind I'm telling myself Should I be? Who will be? The man who'll hold your hand Whenever I close my eyes I can see your lovely smile And I open it again And then I see the midnight sky I smiled before playing my guitar to join them. I know this song, of course, this is one of Xyvier's creation. He used to play and sing this to me every night. When I told him he reminds me of the sky, he immediately composed this song entitled Midnight Sky.

"I'll see you on Saturday, then?" Kinuha niya ang pintura at brush sa glass table at nag-umpisang timplahin ang mga kulay. Gusto niyang kunin ang tamang shade ng kulay para maipinta niya ang kahel na langit sa mga sandaling iyon. The color of the sky was perfect and he wanted to change the one that he had on the canvas—he was changing the clear blue sky to a sunset color. "Kapag may nakita kang sirena sa dagat ay iuwi mo na kaagad, anak. Tatanggap ako ng sirenang mga apo," dagdag pa ng ina saka humagikhik.

Pero hindi na rin siguro dahil nag-aagaw na ang liwanag at dilim. Napansin kong napakaganda ng langit dahil doon. Naghahalo ang dilaw at kahel na may kaunting lila. Ang sarap ipinta. Kung may gamit lang sana akong dala ngayon. Gayunpaman ay kinuhaan ko na lang ng litrato iyon, baka magawa kong i-paint o i-oil pastel sa mga susunod na araw.
