MALANG AT WORK: A BRIEF SESSION WITH THE MASTER

At 81, Malang still paints, but rarely. We always prod him to paint and most of the time he declines and begs off. He feels he’s tired and burned out (I remember the late illustrator-writer Francisco Coching who retired early at age 55). But this is one exceptional instance that he obliges. He takes a brush, mixes and paints. Soler, brother-painter, and I just look and smile--- a brief memorable moment with the Master, our Dad.
