Zaria Landscape Serie

The rains are seriously back here in Zaria, Kaduna State of Nigeria and the landscape has beautifully changed from the bleached light-sienna dried grassland, interspersed with occasional black-terrained expanse of land (aftermath of accidental bush-fire) into appealing hues of green scenery everywhere you turn. Hordes of cattles are found grazing quietly with the sherpherds watching over them here and there, while sometimes, path-ways become difficult to trek or ride through on bicycle.

The following paintings are the beginning of a landscape serie started on June 10th (Self birth-day), with the determination to push it onto the end of the year. Different types of views would be considered in the process of loose-rendering the paintings with sizes ranging from 40 x 50 cm to 64 x 76 cm. Thank you for being a part of the creative process, Comments are appreciatively welcome, or e-mail: seyiajayistudios@gmail.com..
