Jovore – a type of dragon fly which hovers above pools and slow moving water. It is a strange squarish shape. Visue ane is fish teeth and siahe is the triangular shape with various meanings most commonly – mountains and or the hornbill beak.
Vivian is one of two old senior painters from Asafa who teaches younger women how to paint, especially now that the most senior artist Jean Margaret is going blind.
