DUNG BEETLE

The Energy of Africa moves vibrantly through all its living creatures, from its people to its biggest animals to its smallest insects. The humble African Dung Beetle is a determined and clever little character, rolling dung to their nests for egg laying and nourishment for their young. But my take was a metaphor for life. Sometimes a shit sandwich! The ball represents going through the motions, persisting and taking each day at a time. Little golden nuggets appear as opportunities and are presented on our path.  Our little support structures and pearls of wisdom that contribute to our success, whichever route we take. The painting represents taking action, to keep rolling and keep moving forward no matter how hard the struggle and you will collect a whole ton of awesomeness along your path.
