Mango Season

The study below was adapted from a picture taken on a mobile phone on the way back from the lower Zambezi. My lift pulled off to the side of the road to purchase some mangos from a group of children who had bowls laden with the ripe fruits. On spotting the mzungu in the front seat, they ran over to my window to sell me some too. There was a little girl in the picture also and both looked so cheeky and spirited. It became one of my favourite photos.
This study isn't one of my best, proportions etc and the photo looks quite grainy, however I hope to do something more more with it in the future, maybe in acrylic or oils.
