Connie with Masai women in Kenya 24 x 30 Oil
While on safari in the Masa Mara Connie got to visit a Masai village with several others from the mission group. They were greeted warmly, given necklaces to wear for their time at the village, and invited into the circle to join the brightly dressed women. They learned much about the culture and the way of life. In the center of the village, just in front of this painting, the lifestock are brought in each evening for protection from predators. The houses seen in the background of the painting are small and indicate the number of wives in the family, as each wife builds and maintains a separate house. The number of gates/entrances indicate the number of families living inside the village.
