Philippine nostalgia

we have several of these paintings on the wall, bought by Lolo to decorate his house.

Paintings of the rural Philippines. With wonderful Guitar music to accompany the paintings.

from wikipedia:

Fernando Amorsolo 

Nicknamed the "Grand Old Man of Philippine Art,"[2] he was the first-ever to be recognized as a National Artist of the Philippines.[3] He was recognized as such for his "pioneering use of impressionistic technique" as well as his skill in the use of lighting and backlighting in his paintings, "significant not only in the development of Philippine art but also in the formation of Filipino notions of self and identity."
