Gourd
A few weeks ago while Margie & Arounna were here we visited a tiny market in a nearby town called Villa de Progreso were I found a vendor that had a basket of gourds for sale. The shape of this one really caught my eye. I painted a triangle pattern a la Bookhou with black acrylic ink inspired by this beautifully decorated dwelling from the village of Tiébélé, located in Burkina Faso.

I like the gourd! I have a gourd that I have been wanting to paint for a long time. I am not sure if the painting would be as even around the gourd like yours is. Could you please share some tricks on getting the design even around the gourd?
that house is amazing! wow! thank you for sharing.
