African Mother, Original Watercolor, With Her Daughters, Morning Hair Braiding.

Description: Just an observation from the perspective of what you see in this original painting: I have traveled many times in Central Africa (seven times in all), Uganda and Kenya, principlally. In many remote locations, Central Africa, is in places as primitive as you could imagine. It feels and looks like time has stood still for thousands of years. However in other places like Nairobi, is amazing in its modernization and infastructure. Uganda, is far more primative than Kenya, from my perspective. To the extreme Northwest, of Uganda, is Merchantson Falls. I have been there many times. There are a series of falls that are the headwater of the Nile River. It is in that exceedingly vast protected national park where what's portrayed in this watercolor can be seen in real life and daily in, "real time." The Uganda government allows established families (sometimes very large clans) to live as they did hundreds of years ago. Few actually do live so primatively. Sometimes the most primitive communities have the comforts of very spotty electricity. Sometimes they also have a community water well that's hand pumped. Hunting is not allowed, whatsoever. But if animals die naturally, their remains can be consumed by the locals. I have a photo of a man who harvested an elephant foot from an elephant who died of old age. In the background of this watercolor are thached yurts. So what's painted in the background of this painting is real -- and as life really exists -- in the remote parts of NW Uganda. I will package this painting with great care for shipping. I ship to all locations throughout the lower 48 states. Shipping provider: USPS., UPS., or FedEx., depending upon the delivery address. Local pick up is also appreciated and will be accommodated.
