30 Paintings in 30 Days - No. 8

The Broom Seller

Acrylic on board

15x15cm (6x6")

Today's painting went a lot faster than the rest.  It was inspired by a photograph sent to me by my father.  This Xhosa woman spends all day in the sun selling her brooms, so she makes her own sun screen which she applies to her face and when it dries it leaves a white chalky substance on her skin.
