Ferdie's Cityscapes

Abstract

Excerpt

The dusk sky, when the light turns bright orange, is painter Ferdinand Montemayor’s favorite subject. It seems the sun’s struggle with its setting is parallel to his own conflicts with his art making – not of its waning but of his art’s turn into another level just as the sun’s is to another day. As Montemayor’s need to make the shift becomes more intense, his paintings, like the vanishing sun, glows into a brilliant ember.
