you cannot ever leave completely... nor do you want to...


watercolor

'You cannot leave Africa, Africa said. 
It is always with you, there inside your head. 
Our rivers run in currents in the swirl of your thumbprints; 
our drumbeats counting out your pulse; 
our coastline the silhouette of your soul.' 

-Bridget Dore
from the poem Africa Smiled

  3. This is an amazing piece of art. Also true, once you have Africa in your soul it is there for life.

  4. You're never going see this comment, it's too long ago for you to look back. You're never going to remember who I am, it's too long ago since I visited. Nevertheless, I couldn't pass by this wonderful painting without saying I believe it should be hanging in an important museum/gallery it is simply outstanding in a Tree of Life kind of way. John
