Wading through a stream in the middle of a forest, a group of women walk home with foodstuffs atop their heads, the woman in front shepherding a bicycle. Ghanaian artist John Atta Mensah paints this scene in the impressionist style, using dabs of the paintbrush to capture the lush greenery of the forest. Says the artist, "Most streams are normally in the forest areas where farmers walk through after a long day's work."

"Very disappointing"
The artist has an obvious talent, but he takes no pride in his work. It is done quickly and shabbily, on a cheap canvas without any great effort. It arrived rolled the wrong side in (paint side up is the proper way) and totally crushed. It was packaged in a thin sheet of rolled corrugated board. The painting looks great in the picture, but it a real let down in real life. It was purchased for a project to represent contemporary international young artists, so I could not return it. This painting needed to be restored and restretched at a great additional cost. I am not happy with the purchase at all!
