These are large, at least for me, 60 x 80 cm canvases that were painted in 1912.. my first beginnings using the palette knife... to loosen up and get out the graphic mode...
The inspiration came from the book,Natural Fashion: Tribal Decoration from Africa by Hans Silvester, that my artist friend Lillie brought to class.

There are lots of photography bloggers that have posted about Silvester's work and I even found another artist that did paintings using his book. Here is one blog North Goes South that I particularly liked.
