A Balanced Routine by Sue Hill
Sue was inspired to paint this acrylic African landscape having followed the route of a group of cyclists as they travelled in Central Africa on social media. The cyclists’ recent photographs of places, people and animals as they passed through the bush reminded her of her childhood upbringing in Central Africa and the places where she grew up. Her father worked on the mines in Zambia and Sue’s own family was posted to different locations around this area, including Zimbabwe, Botswana, Namibia and South Africa. She still misses Africa.
In this landscape of African women walking along a dusty road, Sue has painted their colourful dress and their poise as they carry their wares. In the background are cyclists, a village of mud huts and other figures. The land is dry and dusty.
She had painted the edges black. it is sealed with satin varnish and it is wired ready to hang. It is signed on the back.
