Afternoon in Tsumeb captures a moment of contrast and serenity from my childhood in Namibia. The painting evokes the feeling of being inside a house with thick stone walls and a cool, cement floor, offering respite from the blistering heat outside. The hot Namibian air lingers in the surroundings, while the rare river runs gently through the town, bringing life to the landscape.
In the distance, tall palm trees stand proud against the intense heat, their presence offering a sense of shade and calm. This acrylic landscape painting aims to capture that rare moment of tranquility—the coolness inside the house, with the heat and vivid natural beauty just beyond.
