I was researching different African tribes. And it was fascinating that there are a lot of different tribes black, white, arab, Ethiopian and toureg, in northern africa. I was looking to see if there were african queen reigning. I found these four queens that are beautiful. I painted one of the queens, this is NSIA. She is a breath taking beauty. All thought I was inspired by a photograph, NSIA reminds me a bible beauty like the Queen of Sheba or Tamar the daughter of king David.
