I have always dreamed of going to Africa. As a child, I wanted to see the wild elephants and lions and zebras. As a teen, I wanted to go on safari. As an adult, I want to learn more about the different cultures, get to know some of the people, experience their way of life. When a photographer friend of Laura's brought home some pictures of her trip I jumped on the album to see what I could find. I absolutely, head over heels, fell in love with this amazing little boy. His eyes kept staring at me as if to say, "Go ahead, I dare you to try to paint me!" I had so much fun painting him. His smile is infectious, his eyes are teasing and you can tell that he his absolutely and genuinely happy! He has stolen my heart just like when your own child is born and that is why this painting is called "African Son".
