Mvua ya Kwanza (first rains)

Description

“Mvua ya Kwanza” in Swahili means First Rains. A friend who has taken many safaris suggested this title and I thought is was perfect. November brings the first life giving rains and the land springs to life, a bright green carpet over the plains appears.

My first concept was a lion with an impending storm brewing. The painting was missing something. When 2 zebra walked in, it was perfect.
