A Date in Zanzibar

An imaginary date, in an imaginary cafe at Stone Town, Zanzibar. Painted in oils.

Dhows off Zanzibar

This was the sight that greeted us as we arrived at our hotel in Stone Town, Zanzibar. Painted in oils from a photograph I hastily captured, before the moment was lost!

Elephants at Tarangire

Just finished today in watercolour, a picture derived from various photographic material taken on a trip to Tarangire National Park, Tanzania some years ago. The trip to Tanzania was a memorable one visiting the Maynara, Ngorongoro, Serengeti, and Tarangire, reservations. Then a short flight to Zanzibar, exploring Stone Town and then chilling on the beach! A wonderful experience.

Dhow at Sundown

Another venture into pastel. Taken from a ‘photo from my visit to Stone Town, Zanzibar.

Dhows at Sundown

Painted in oils, this was the sight that met my eyes on my arrival at a waterfront hotel in Stone Town, Zanzibar. I dropped my luggage and grabbed my camera before the magical moment was lost.

Cafe in Zanzibar

Zanzibar is a beautiful island I visited a few years ago. Busy Stone Town with its ornate doorways, pungent smells of exotic spices, the Sultans Palace and harbour. Wonderful sunsets and fishing dhowes…….. The picture painted in oils, is pure fiction and simply a figment of my memory backed, imagination!
