Above the valley-3 20cm x 25cm Watercolour on  Paper

There is this beautiful view of Ikeja, G.R.A landscape off one of my studio windows at Opebi, Lagos, Nigeria. Lots of greenery I couldn’t resist painting.

I took time to observe awhile and then leave the scenery to paint from memory. Had a great time experimenting with various Cotsman Watercolor paper grams Sometimes, In each of the works above, I tried  to depict  different moods of the day with one or two additional structures to balance the composition . They are follow-up to some watercolor painting exercise  from my trip to Abuja, Nigeria last month (March).

Before Lunch

'Maize season' 25cm x 27cm Water-colour on Cotsman Paper

It was late afternoon during maize season, the aroma of freshly plucked maize being roasted is always inviting in this part of the world, most especially before lunch or dinner is ready. When I come across scenes like this it usually reminds me of my growing years.

River side

'River side' Acrylic on canvas. 12" x 38".2012

This painting is imaginative, dates back to child-hood years when we visit the village and watch as the locals bring their laundry to the river to wash. The village is called Ajegunle-ota and the river is called River Agunloye in Ogun state of Nigeria.
The work started from the panel on the left (P-1). After signing off the initial painting I was not too satisfied with the outcome. So I had to add the other panel (P-2) while introducing some elements that would compliment the other one (P-1}.

Below are the details of the individual panels. Thanks for viewing and if you are interested in the original you can e-mail me: oluseyi.ajayi@gmail.com.
