Two Together – A Sketch

Image
Two Together - Color Sketch on paper by Ashok, 1991    If either falls, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him  that is  alone when he falleth; for  he hath  not another to help him up. Eccelestiastes 4:10 Yet one who loves God, walks in the company of angels In 1991 I visited a friend in Egypt. His village in the Beni Suef province is situated on the banks of a branch of the Nile River. On my return with thoughts of the Nile, I made some sketches with colored pens on paper. Most have been lost now but this one remains. On the lower right corner my name Ashok is signed in Arabic of which I have a rudimentary knowledge from my stints in the Middle East. File photo of me and Mehmood Mohmed Mohamed from September 1991 on a visit to his village Manhara in Egypt. Also in photo is his son Hanafi
