My Heritage

I am proud to say that I belong to a family or artists. My grandfather, Jose Tr. Alcoseba, was popular in Cebu during his time. I remember being to a few of his shows, mostly at the then USIS building in Jones Avenue. August is my grandfather's birthday month. Lolo Peping, as we fondly referred to him, should have been a hundred and nine. I dedicate this blog to him whom my kids, as so with some of my uncles and cousins, inherited this special talent.

My son's, Thaad's, first painting.... his present to us one Christmas.

Another painting by Thaad... a birthday present for me.

My daughter, Jenna, has also the hand of a painter... her favorite subject being fairies.

My other daughter, Gem, on the other hand tries very hard to be an artist... but in vain. She is convinced that she's got the bad genes. I tell her she is special in many other ways!

Check out my cousin, Tony and his son, Darby...

As for me, I can only appreciate their creations and be proud that they are my family.

Happy Birthday Lolo Peping!
