  -  Messing About with Paint   -  Juba Sunrise

Oil on Canvas 60cmx50cm

Each morning, they move the cattle out from their evening stockade alongside the main soccer stadium, to their pastures along the river bank. I wanted to capture the fiery sunrises we are getting in Juba at the moment, as well as the uniqueness and central role that cattle play in the life of the South Sudanese. Hence I kept the cattle herder insignificant in the painting.

    few of the articles I realized it’s new to me. Anyhow, I’m definitely
    pleased I stumbled upon it and I’ll be book-marking it and
    checking back often!

  • Hey, I think your blog might be having browser compatibility issues.
    When I look at your blog in Safari, it looks fine
    but when opening in Internet Explorer, it has some overlapping.
    I just wanted to give you a quick heads up! Other then that, very good blog!
