More Ngunis!!
YES! - I am painting some more Ngunis!! ☺
I often like to do the same Nguni in watercolour as well as in oil. The effect can be very different in each case, especially when I change the background colour dramatically, as I have done here. I love the interplay between all the warm, earthy colours - the siennas and the umbers - and how they reflect off the white, defining the form of the subject.

Repetition is the mother of all skill! - I learnt that when I had to practise scales every day to improve my pianistic skills!
Besides improving skills, repetition, in the form of rhythm, is definitely the very fibre of music. the same goes for art! Repetition can grow skill, but repetition can also become a very integral part of an artwork, such as the repetitious forms of trees, leaves or grass. Or as pattern in design, like Esher's tassellations. Andy Warhol took it a step further, repeating the same subject, using silk screen printing!
REPETITION is the reality and the seriousness of life.
(Soren Kierkegaard 1813-1855, Danish Philosopher, Writer)
There is REPETITION everywhere, and nothing is found only once in the world.
(Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe 1749-1832, German Poet, Dramatist, Novelist)
So, be warned! More REPETITION is to follow!!!
