One More Miracle

Everything these Bedouins owned had to be light and manageable enough to hoist on to the camel's back. Their camel herds were survival machines, providing milk that was for the Bedouin both food and drink.

Somehow I didn't quite like this one francis. Sory to say. I guess this is my first one and maybe I'm the only one. I don't know, maybe because the color. Oh, but you're still my favorite artist. :D

Terry Bassett 08 Apr 2006

Great watercolour Francis.. I remember that a small splash of Camel milk made their 'ferocious' tea.. (brewed in a bucket).. almost drinkable. :-)

Artist Reply: Thank you Terry, I would like to try it..but camel's milk have very strong smell.

Rusty Woodward-Gladdish 08 Apr 2006

Hello Francis! Love these deep, vibrant siennas and the use of the Prussian blues that add mystery to the picture. The Kuwaiti Bedouins lead a very sophisitcated and civilised life now, but for all that they still cling on to their nomadic traditions. Every year, when the temperatures finally cool down to a bearable level they pack up their tents and TVs, DVDs, fridges and generators and put the camel in the back of the Dodge truck and head out into the desert. Then, amidst the splendour of their tent they lounge comfortably on their fabulous, ethnic cushions.............. and watch TV under the stars!!!! How times change! Wonderful painting!

Artist Reply: I love it, I can imagine it....lying on the carpet over the sand, staring at the stars and sipping hot coffee near the fire.....you are wonderful Rusty, I wish we are in the same place. thanks.
