Untitled, Oil on Canvas, 50X70cm, 2023. Image supplied by artist.

An oil painting on canvas. A grey blue twisted ancient tree stands on a hill among rocks. A full moon in in the right side of a sky divided into pieces. The colours move from a luminous creamy colour to a grey-blue of varying shades. The roots of the tree travel deep into the hill which is also divided into pieces or frames. In some of the frames are the sunbird and in others olive leaves and fruit and others a tree, stones and other features not easily recognised, perhaps stories, perhaps a river ... The colours range from yellow, luminous cream, grey-blues, greens, grey greens.
