New art.



I've been meaning to post some pictures of the art at home (some more here) for a while, but it's one of those things that just does not seem to happen. All of these are done by 'local' artist - local meaning East African - Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Etiopia, Sudan, DRC etc.
This specific piece is hanging in the lounge over the fireplace. The contrast with the stone wall is just stunning...
This I bought in Dar-es-Salaam and VERY carefully carried back to Nairobi as hand luggage. It's actually not a painting but two carvings in a wooden box frame. Hanging in the lounge area on a little 'dead' wall between two bay windows.
And now for some reason 'blogger' won't allow me to download more pictures - bugger blogger...
Will try again later.
To be continued...
Have a fruitful day now, y'all!
TTFN
AND THE DAMN THING IS MESSING UP MY SPACING... You wanna mess up a girls day, mess with my arangment of thing!

I'm in love with that stone wall and the artwork is stunning. Looks so peaceful, quiet, and comfortable.
