I have always wanted to paint something that reminded me of my childhood and this is it. It holds every memory I have of Africa from the animals on Safari to the flowers found in the bush and our back yard. I really liked the artwork in the tinga tinga tales ( a childrens tv series) After doing some research I found that there is a whole tinga tinga art style that started off from Tanzania which is where this show got its inspiration from. I have used inspiration from this style to put this piece together.

I also wanted to represent my family in this piece, my kids have loved watching me paint this as the characters represent all of us
