The Spinach Seller

This lady grows her own spinach which she sells at the local market. This is such a typical sight in our rural area. This work forms part of a series I am doing, recording people going about their daily business in Zululand. I tried to capture her pride and energy with bold, quick brush strokes. I loved the bright colour of her head gear and wanted to keep her the most important aspect of the painting. This painting was selected for the KZNSA Gallery's current exhibition "Bold and Beautiful".  I am particularly proud of this painting.
