11x14" oil on canvas
This is my newest painting from my experiences in Africa. While in the villages, we kept our cameras in our bags unless we could ask someone for permission to photograph them. One afternoon, we did have an hour in the market of Kwaggafontein with the freedom to photograph everyone and everything of interest to us. The photo of this young shopkeeper was taken across the street from her with my zoom lens. It's obvious from her posture and expression that her business didn't welcome any "monkey business." I wanted to capture her youthful beauty and strength.
