30" x 36" Acryllic on Canvas

I finished this couple weeks ago. It is already hanging in my parents house. I tried to find the reference photo that I used to draw the "Kubo" (hut), searched for it all over, I could not find any photo of it anymore.

This was actually a real "Kubo" when I was growing up in the Philippines, exactly the way it looks in the painting. There was a "papag" (bamboo bed) in the back where I used to take a nap in the afternoon and read 'komiks'. We had lots of native fruit plants in the lot - kalamansi, bayabas, manggo, duhat, guyabano, langka, and papaya.

The kubo was torn down long time ago, no more plants in the lot, even my uncle who designed the kubo already passed away.
