Here is the finished painting of the Herero Lady and her son.This was based on some photos taken in Bodibeng Village which is about 120 km west of Maun.Very likely they had just arrived back from Maun with food supplies which she is carrying on her head and paraffin in the blue bottle that will be used for their stove and lights.I loved the evening light in this painting and the contrasting shadows.

Really great. I like the softness of your trees in the background, contrasted with the details of the figures. Are there many artists in your area. I'd love to see photo's from your group show when it happens.

Thanks Douglas,there are many artists in our area but many lack the basic skills and supplies to produce good work.The group was hoping that I do a workshop in the near future so that others can learn something new.I will post some of the work from the group soon.

Nice work Roger, I to look for places less touched by modern life. Not so easy in the New York area! Good luck in your search.
