I was recently asked to paint some pictures for staff who were leaving the school I am currently working at, Isamilo International School in Mwanza this year.
Here are my paintings.

I am now off work for 8 weeks… so plenty of time for painting, sewing and lots of crafty fun.
And as Pablo Picasso once said: “Painting is just another way of keeping a diary”.

The last one is my absolute favourite. There are so many stories to dream about that are happening in the houses and streets…

My favourite is the first one of Lake Victoria, (so vibrant), second are the monkeys (so accurate)…….Enjoy a well earned break
