Decked out in colorful finery, two women dance the traditional Agbadza of the Volta region of Ghana. They coordinate to synchronize their graceful movements with each other, the rhythm and the music. George Blankson Bessa-Simons depicts them in his hallmark style, using a bright and cheerful palette. Originally a war dance performed by the Ewe people, today the Agbadza is danced for entertainment in special events, not only in Ghana but also by the Ewe in Togo and Benin.

"Gently painted"
I have this painting, which I got along with the green deer, and I plan on pairing them up with a larger picture of a MOTHER deer that I already have. I was surprised to find the style of painting so similar and that made me thrilled. Its a family affair!

"Calm and endearing."
I love the quietness of this gently painted deer. I also have the brown version and a larger picture of a deer that I had and they will be exhibited all together. I am very pleased with the picture. 3
