Craig bone oil painting
This was purchased in Zimbabwe at his atelier. He was in the process of painting it while we were there. It is an Oil Painting and measures about 45 x 28 in. Framed. It is a rare night scene and is shown in his African Seasons Book printed in 1993. I think it must be one of his earlier paintings because I think we purchased it in late 1960's.
Purchased in Zimbabwe at home?atelier of Craig Bone. We are only owners.
