SAMILIA, 30x24", Watercolor & Pastel, 1995
SAMILIA'S STORY
While hanging this painting, a beautiful English Indian woman, Samilia (Sam), knocked on my door.
We both stood in astonishment, as the painting was her!
Sam, thought it was the very likeness of her mother.
The painting seemed to announce her arrival and she shared my home for a year --we have been friends for many more.
RECOGNISE THESE?
In all my art, there are elements from my life and home:. The borders in this painting are the pattern from my floor rug;
the scarves on pillows were handmade by Affif's Palestinian mother,. Her beautiful tatting is common to the region.
