This painting and poem is based on a morning in the Kalahari Desert, when the sun was extremely bright and the temperatures were quickly rising. We were headed to Deception Valley and I just felt an unbelievable attachment to the land and all those who had walked this ground for as long as we have been on the planet.
I spent the morning continuing to work on the Africa series but it has really become the Botswana Kalahari Desert series I am trying to get that feeling of dryness and survival in these works. The scratched lines represent the travel paths of the animals who come and go in search of food and water in one of the more inhospitable places on earth. I am getting there but I have a long way to go. I am putting up 4 images on 2 separate posts.
