The many years I have spent traveling and living among nomads in Africa have left me with volumes of sketches, photos and ideas. When I delve into my journals I am reminded of paintings I envisioned. These are newly completed from a sketch or a memory that inspired me. The young Tuareg boy leading his camels to pasture passed by where I was camped.
