An artist's studio in Ado, Nigeria, is depicted with two paintings in progress and a reference image. The central focus is a large, vertically oriented painting on an easel, featuring a partially completed portrait of an African woman on a golden-yellow background. The completed section shows the woman's head and upper torso, adorned with white face paint dots, a fluffy white headpiece with a feather, and a vibrant, multi-colored beaded necklace. Her skin is rendered in rich, warm tones. Below this, a pencil sketch of another woman's face and upper body, with an afro-like hairstyle and a beaded necklace, is visible, indicating an underpainting or a second figure in the composition. Taped to the upper part of the large painting is a small, polaroid-style reference photograph showing a similar subject, possibly the same woman, overlaid with a grid pattern. Beside this photo, handwritten text reads: "The Kingdom of God is within you. Seek ye first the Kingdom of God". To the right, a hand holds a smaller, separate painting depicting a deep blue sky filled with fluffy white clouds and a scattering of small, dark bird silhouettes in the upper right. This smaller canvas appears to be a study or a component for a larger work. The large painting is secured to an unseen support by black clips on its top-left edge. A black metal easel is partially visible behind the canvases, suggesting an active workspace. The overall scene captures a moment of artistic creation, blending portraiture with celestial elements and personal reflection.Artist creates portraits in studio, Ado
