African Acrylic Painting, "Before the Journey II"

The afternoon is filled with activity on Jamestown Beach in Accra. Fishermen mend nets and fix up their canoes in this dynamic painting by Folusho Akomolede. Among the Ga Adangbe fishing community, Tuesdays are days considered sacred and thus no one is expected to go fishing. However they use this time to their advantage. "Apply a solid foundation before you embark on any journey to avoid future calamities," the Ghanaian artist admonishes.
