The painting on the wall behind me in my yesterday's shot, was painted by this artist in 2009 and Shaun (son) bought it at a local market when he was working as a pilot in Zambia.
Banda Sakanya. He started painting in 1998 as a self-taught artist. His works cross the boundaries between impressionism and naturalism. He paints portraits, landscapes, wildlife and still-life subjects. He has come a long way since then and holds exhibitions around the world. This one he sent to me around 2010 when I originally contacted him. Its just a copy of course but wonderful I reckon.
Thankful for:
some rain after a lovely hot day..
@grammyn I've got more pics - he sent them by email and I printed them on photographic glossy paper. If I had more room on my walls, I would frame them!
@maggiemae I checked him out on Google...liking some of those group ones...the one with the bags & luggage especially. Might be just the thing for our living room wall when we are done!
@maggiemae There is a whole section on Google...prints of course but in various mediums...not expensive at all, I would want a big one to make it striking enough but will wait...I have so many pictures packed away so must see first what’s what!
beautiful and bright in its simplicity
