Women and dignity

Gwari Women 1 _12” x 14” Acrylic on canvas 
In Nigeria, Gwari women carry heavy loads on their neck, usually in a Basket or decorated Calabash.You need to see them carrying their load without any stress whatsoever. It's like they carry the burden of the family more than the men. What a culture or should I say tradition! 
This painting is the first that came out of the sketch previously posted. The second painting will soon be posted. NB. Gwari is a tribe in the North-western part of Nigeria.
