I painted this for a friend's birthday during the summer. She spent some time in South Africa a few years ago, and has an 'Africa' themed room in her house, so I knew this would fit in well! I must admit, I copied the figures from a card that I bought in Rwanda last year and the background was taken from one of my own photos. (Rwandan sunsets are pretty incredible!) I used acrylic paints (the ones I have left which haven't dried out that is) on a canvas about 6 inches square. It was good to do some painting again - something I've not really done much of for a long time. And I loved wrapping it up at the end - you can't beat a bit of brown paper and some pretty lace and ribbon!
