Description
I have named this painting "Banaue," after the municipality called Banaue (Banawe) in the province of Ifugao, Philippines. Banaue is widely known for the UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Batad Rice Terraces and Bangaan Rice Terraces.
.....
The Ifugao Rice Terraces (Banaue Rice Terraces or Hagdan-hagdang Palayan ng Banaue) begin at the base of the mountain range and extend several thousand feet upwards. They are commonly referred to by Filipinos as the "Eight Wonder of the World." Accordingly, the total length of the terraces, when put end to end, would encircle half of the globe.
.....
The rice terraces manifest the engineering skill and ingenuity of Ifugaos, who built them 2,000 years ago. They are irrigated by means of mountain streams and springs that have been tapped and channeled into canals that run downhill through the rice terraces.

Great composition, Cyril! Love the curves of the terraces and lines coming to the distant point and colors - liked!

Wow, Cyril, the ingenuity and engineering skills of those who built this system of rice terraces 2000 years ago that go on for several thousand miles is astonishing! Love this work in acrylics, Cyril! I love all of your work! Fave! L/F!
