Caohagen island- a tiny place off of Cebu in the Philippines, I took this photograph in 2016 and in 2026 I chose to paint it. I was blown away by the simplicity of life on the Island and the people that have very little, They were not phased by their plight,more over were loving life. makes you think! These 2 lads were off fishing, part of their daily routine in this tropical beauty. it is the Artists prerogative to capture the scene removing some of the detail to leave the focus on the composition and subject. Looking at the finished image it evokes the feeling of the island life.
