Art Group

Third get together for the week and for the year!  Pope party, New Year Get Together and now dinner with the art group.  I am enjoying this but quite tiring ( LOL 🙂 ) So the theme for tonight is ART 🙂  because it’s what brought our group together at one point 20 years ago.

I just bought some paintbrushes and a small palette.  Then I had some paint from an event and just added it.  I was thinking of a mini easel with a blank canvass where we could paint but then I thought that it would have taken away our attention to each other for that evening so I shelved the idea for now

 Cut some plants from the garden and put some paintbrushes in my fish bowls for the centerpiece Celebrating the birthday of one of our friends, so he gets a birthday hat on his place which he will have to wear! 🙂

Lovely couple, Randy and Pia Young.  They were the ones who introduced us to art.  The painting beside them in this photo is by Malang and was our first painting which we bought when we got married.  They own the Crucible Gallery together with Sari and Nancy.  They represent Arturo Luz, Anita Magsaysay Ho, Cesar Legaspi, Mauro Malang Santos , Jerry Araos exclusively.  At present they handle Arturo Luz and contemporary rock stars like Igan Dibayan.  Doctor couple – Dr. Benny Herbosa, General Surgeon- plastic and reconstructive surgery ( cleft children, burns hand surgeries ) and Dra. Val Floro Herbosa, General Dermatology ( specializing in infectious and Dermatopathology )  Plus Tammy and Dina who don’t have a couple photo 🙂  I forgot to take! 

 The birthday boy! Benny!! I love it that he wore the hat the whole night! 🙂  

Chef Javs prepared a 7 course Degustation for us.  Pork Buns, Lobster Cream Corn, Saffron Angulas on pastry cup, Chicken wings with Konbu butter sauce, Prawn cooked Two Ways – Shrimp Tempura with banana, truffle honey and Wasabi mayo and Prawn served in a pastry shell with saffron Bernaise sauce.  And for the main course we had a Bryan Flannery Rib cap which is the tastiest and most tender part in a roast beef.  It comes in a roll and you slice it as in the photo below 

Dr. Benny the birthday boy slicing his food like he was in the OR! haha!!
