On the Easel

 Title: Dye Pit (Rinsing)   Size: 26" x 36"  Medium: Oil on canvas

I started the painting above about 7 months ago.
It's a reflection of some of my encounters while studying art in Zaria, Nigeria.
Kano city is notable for her dye-pits. The boy was actually left with the job of rinsing the cloth after the dye has set.


Title: Mid-stream confrontation.  Size: 32.5" x 47.5 Medium: Oil on canvas

I started the painting above over a year ago and hope to sign it off soon.
It's one of my College days' encounter. The scene was recorded during a bus ride from Kaduna to Lagos
I guess the bull on the right was been challenged by the young one closer to the herd.


Title: Rock Duo   Size: 24"x 49" Medium: Oil on canvas.


 
Title: Survival.  Size: 26" x 46" Medium: Oil on canvas

The two abstract paintings above were started about seven months ago. Work is still in progress and I hope to sign off before April 30th.
The painting process started with normal regular sketch that graduated into stylized images with controlled traditional motifs.
