The East African Ankole cattle are the inspiration for this painting. The image of the figure is a part of my own visual vocabulary that is found in many of my paintings. During my research study prior to painting, I found a photo that also inspired me to create a composition that included semblances of architecture found within that region of the Continent. This painting is also available as prints and other possible products.
