  
 This traditional bark cloth painting entitled "Working Together" is a creation of the artist Gerrald Kabuye from Uganda. Gerrald painted this portrait with orange, white and black colors because of his artistic design to bring out the natural tones of bark cloth. Each woman is dressed in colorful and traditional clothing, and Gerrald added a little extra color by putting small amounts of purple into the women's dresses as well as the village huts. Gerrald encompasses the women grinding their meal within a circle of color that is used to illustrate the unity and togetherness amongst the women. 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 beauty, strength and sense of community of the traditional African woman in this paintings.
This medium sized bark cloth painting measures 24.5" long and 12.5" 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.
