Tito Estrada's 2nd New York City Art Exhibit

From TitoE

I could not help but noticed myself gazing down the glistening wooden floor of the Philippine Consulate---very appropriate for Tito Estrada's 2nd exhibit here in New York City. And right above the shiny floor, as my eyes moved upward, the paintings have been carefully set for more gazing, and curious studying, figuring out exactly how they have been crafted.

From TitoE

Payaso, galore! I could only smile as I took note of their details---they can look great in another friend's home. I could only think which one of them will get into my art collection? And which ones will be left displayed in other people's homes.

From TitoE

A view of the next wall, contiguous to the wall where the Payaso paintings are place, are these other paintings ready for the picking of the curious viewer, and smart art collector ready to invest on a good piece or two of Philippine art

A table laden with hors d'oeuvres; Tito's can be seen chatting with someone he introduced to me later as being from Singapore; a violinist on the far left foreground ---all adding to the mood most apt for an opening night like this one

From TitoE

I showed up at least an hour after Tito Estrada's 2nd exhibit opened for the cocktails here in New York City - it'll be around for the next two weeks at the Philippine Consulate. I've found interesting people who showed up, some flew all the way from the West Coast, and a few friends and acquaintances whom I've not seen for some time. Attendance has been noted to be made up of people who got ready and came fully attired, some artsy and full of healthy funny flair just for the occasion. The flowers were apparently expertly dissed out by another friend whom I've not seen for a while---he just texted me that he was around earlier but had to go soon before I came.

I'm happy being in this exhibit, again. I kept on picking on the food on the table---I was famishing as I hurriedly left home to rush to this event which I know I could not miss---I don't get to see Tito that often, as he's based in the Philippines. The evening was cooler than the previous night, and it's again a Monday, as NYC prepares to switch from summer into fall. I know people are inquiring and paying for the paintings which will be left hanging on the walls until the exhibit is over. The mood's apparently ready for everyone to view the art, and to start digging into their pockets to become an owner of one or two of these paintings.

A good friend I've here in NYC, who I told about this art exhibit, and who asked me most earnestly:

Are there any of those paintings exhibited getting sold at all?

But of course, yes!

And I know that, having been privy with the right source.
