I was entranced by the innocence of this little Ugandan girl. The photo was taken at a school where she was sitting at a desk. I decided to paint the Ugandan countryside as backdrop rather than a dark school room, and I wanted to give her hands the same sense of “being caught in a moment” as did her face. That pink hat is the perfect frame for her beautiful face. This oil on canvas painting is 16″w x 20″h, and is in a lovely dark wood frame all ready to put in a prominent place.
