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.
Francis, this is an excellent watercolor. Your realism always makes me think that it's a photo at first glance. You are also good at picking out interesting subjects for your work.
Artist Reply: Thank you David, it's very kind of you ..I appreciate it.
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
Artist Reply: It's okay Noval, don't have to be sorry. Maybe this remind you of something. This painting was already sold. Thanks.
It was their 'mode of transportation'.. their means of survival.. Camels, very important to them for sure! Brilliant watercolour work Francis.. excellent atmosphere. :o)
Artist Reply: Thanks Les, I loves camel very much.
