The Guardian

A friend of my brother went on a motorcycle journey through Namibia and Angola and came back home with a bunch of photos that he thought I might like to paint. Among them was this one taken at the Spitzkoppe in Namibia. It's an incredible rock formation. I saw in it the head of a lioness about to lick her paw along with some other distorted figures. The original has been almost destroyed because the painting was hung outside under a roof. In a storm, it fell from the wall and was completely drenched in the rain. The last time I saw it, the paint was cracked and peeling in several places. These prints are all that remains of it.
