Signed Acrylic on Canvas Expressionist Portrait of Women, "Pot Ladies"
This original acrylic painting by Derrick Okanta of Ghana charmingly depicts three Ghanaian ladies with pots balanced on their heads. The artist wryly mimics the pots' shapes in the rounded curves of the women's bellies. The soft color palette and loose, gestural brushwork result in an especially appealing composition.
