The subject of this painting is a rainbow bunting, which represents the onset of a new day--beautiful but fleeting.  The different colors of the bird represent the myriad events and possibilities that may happen within the day.

"The Protector" is a mixed media on paper creation, inspired by the behavior of a mother bird towards its young--of how the parent lovingly protects and is as signified in its encompassing wings.

I chose Udon's picture as a reference because it depicts the ideal human and animal relationship. And that's a relationship based on mutual trust and respect.

This painting embodies the advocacies of the the Philippine Animal Wellness Society (PAWS), which treats animals with the love and respect that they deserve.
