Waves III


5.5" x 12" Oil on hardboard





$175. + S/H SOLD

I was listening to NPR while I was painting.
An interesting ambassador from Sudan,
speaking about boundaries and
the insurgency and Dafur. He lived in the US teaching
in the Chicago area I believe for nearly 20 years,
then returned to Africa.
The history of troubles seem to have begun with the British
rule, and then their wanting independence, like
others around them having gotten independence
from the British. Who's in charge seems
to be where they are stuck.
Is it to be a dictatorship or democracy?
All the fighting trying to decide meanwhile,
where so many innocent people suffer the
turmoil and instability around them.

What an honor and priviledge
standing on a beach figuring out the
complexities of the waves in oils.
