Zebedia - the eldest son
Linoprint.
I remember Zebedia standing proudly in front of his mud home with cowskin over the doorway, leaning on the stick he used to herd the family’s cattle and goats. He was 12 years old but already shouldering the responsibility of a young man of his tribe in Tanzania. The eldest son is important to the family. Zebedia was bright: he would have done well at school if he’d had the opportunity to go. But as the eldest son, his job was to help his father herd their cattle. When poverty is history all sons, and daughters, will get an education

This print has been accepted in the Art4 Aid Art and Prize exhibition run by World Vision next month in Canberra. The only other time I had anything in an exhibition was cards in CARA about 20years ago!!! planning to go to the opening.
OMary also got a painting in this exhibition. Moving Figures

I wish there was a way to edit comments. I’m trying to be Omary’s websmaster or whatever you call it, and getting confused – I certainly don’t need more identity issues – feeling half African myself is challenging enough!

Well done, Jean! When is the opening?
