A Taste of Africa

'Africa' - water colour/ink


I have not been to Africa, but this is my impression... a golden sun, burnt umber, yellow ochre and raw sienna - yellows, blues and black ... simple shapes...


It's time to (reluctantly) put my paints away & pull my head out of the clouds for a few days, since a house-full of white venetian blinds need cleaning ... eek, whose idea was it to install those I wonder? :)

For some happy synchronicity, this song played on the radio the morning I finished and framed this painting.

  4. Perhaps you have visited Africa - in you sleep time! This is a wonderful painting and I can see many things that I would associate with Africa o- and I've never been there either!

    I've been absent for a bit and it was nice to catch up with you via your posts. Take care!
