  
 This traditional bark cloth painting entitled "Woman Grinding Meal" is a creation of the artist Gerrald Kabuye from Uganda. In this painting, Gerrald portrays a woman hard at work grinding maize to prepare a meal for her family set before two huts of her village. Gerrald's use of green, in addition his common colors of orange, white and black, in this portrait makes it a special piece and uniquely brings out the natural tones of the bark cloth. The woman is dressed in traditional clothing and carries her young child upon her back. Although she is working hard, there is a smile on her face and look of pride in her eyes. Artist Gerrald Kabuye paints many of his portraits to depict traditional Ugandan women because of the prominent role of the woman in the fabric of the family and society of Ugandan culture. Gerrald illustrates the natural beauty and independent strength of the traditional African woman in this painting.
This small sized bark cloth painting measures 26" long and 8.5" wide. This is a wonderfully unique, traditional, and originally hand-signed by the artist 'Kabuye' painting that will look absolutely amazing in a simple black frame.
