African Market Ladies Painting

I created this piece of art as it reminds me of home, Africa. I can hear the laughter and chattering of the ladies with their babies on their backs and baskets on their heads. See their white smiles as they greet their friends. I can smell the sunshine, the harvest, and the local food which is cooking in the clay pots. I can see the kids hands being slapped away as they try to cheekily snatch away a quick morsel. I can hear the barking of the skinny street dogs, which are hanging around for runaway scraps. Painting these beautiful people takes me home. It fills my heart. I painted the original A4 work of art, in blue and black watercolours. I decided that it would look amazing in gold, soft greys and black. I photographed my original and digitally enhanced and manipulated it into the exact shades of grey that I wanted. I then printed this onto 300 gsm cotton art paper with my beautiful Epson 8 colour printer. I created a reverse stamp of the image and hand painted a very soft gold colour over the top of the black giclée print to give it a more artistic and abstract feel. I wanted it to look busy with people, but again minimalistic and not fussy so that it would fit into any lovely interior space. I hope you love this as much as I do. Thank you for reading my story.
