VICTORIA'S SECRET ART

On this page are some of the beautiful paintings of my cousin, Victoria or Marivic as my family fondly call her from Melbourne, Australia. I first learned in August this year when she called me to view and comment on her new paintings in Gubatnons Everywhere!, a social networking of Ning.Com of my fellow Gubatnons in the Internet. I was surprised and couldn't believe how she made her first two paintings beautifully. These are, "Mother and Child" and "The Money Tree" She painted impeccably with a brush stroke of a gifted artist. The colors are magnificently balanced and anyone who will see it will really appreciate its originality and form. Her genre is figurative or relating to or representing form in art by means of human or animal figures.

Edith and I learned a while back that she joined a painting class, so she could just paint a piece of art by herself and avoid buying very expensive paintings in Melbourne to hang on her vacant walls. By a stroke of luck, she ended painting very well and got many orders from her friends who liked her paintings very much. I can just imagine now if she becomes popular and she would exhibit in a one-man show in a noted gallery in Melbourne. Well, she was a good artist back then and made everything exquisitely beautiful the way she helped my children on their projects in their science or art subjects when she was with us in Makati. Then, in every establishment that she worked for, Victoria always tried to set up a better way to improve ideas through her skill in art. Well, she is a person who can eye a flaw or imperfection instantly in her work environment.

Victoria is married to Andrew Hall, a businessman. They have been married for more than six years now. They are living in Melbourne and have two children, Ashleigh and Portia. My children, Agatha, Aurora, Ponchie and my daughter-in-law, Babylin attended their wedding in June, 2004 in a Catholic ceremony. The reception was held in a yacht cruise in Melbourne bay. My children enjoyed every minute of their visit, touring some beautiful and noted sites as well.
