Ideas for paintings come from many places. Intriguing images stick with me and won't stay quiet until I put my own version of them down on paper. Today's drawing (above) contains two figures from a fantastic piece of embroidery made by the artists of the WHAG Ubuntu Project (below). The Project (based in The William Humphreys Art Gallery in Kimberly, South Africa) provides a platform for gifted artists to make and sell their own artwork. The money from the sale of these items goes directly to the artist's families, who are struggling with poverty and AIDS. For more more information about the WHAG Ubuntu Project, see their web site:

Below: Two more examples of the powerful and unusual embroidery produced by WHAG Ubuntu Project artists.
