Done with acrylics on paper.
The Zulu title for this painting would be "Inkosikazi nomtwana uzinika izinkuku ukudla" - a woman with a baby gives the chickens food.
This is not furry, but there are chickens and a dog, so I'm still going to post it here.
A friend of mine asked me to paint something that represented traditional South African culture, so I painted this.
The land is typical of Kwazulu Natal, with green, rolling hills that go on forever. It is based on the Valley of a Thousand Hills.
The hut is a rondawel - A traditional African hut (used more by the Sotho and Tswana, though. Not so much by the Zulus).
The field at the back has mielies (maize) growing in it and is guarded by an Africanus cur (also known as a Township Dog).
The pot is a poitjie. It was introduced to South Africa by the Afrikaans and is descended from the Dutch Oven.
Except for the black and white hen, the chickens are traditional ones kept by Zulus.
And of course, the lady's dress is brightly coloured, typical of Southern Bantu culture. She also carries her baby on her back which is a tradition that is shared by many different cultures across Africa
I'd also like to announce that I'm officially open for commissions.
