Greener Pastures

Created as a lithography print on Fabriano paper, Nathi Ndlandla used a single, dark hue to create his emotive tree scape, titled “Greener Pastures’.  A small herd of sheep grazing in the foreground, in front of a leafless tree forms the focal point of Nathi’s visual. Just a little further the artist portrays a dark, leaf-covered tree; possibly the venue where ‘greener pastures’ may be had.  The intentional dark shades used in portraying this section of the work becomes a poetic metaphor that the grass in NOT always greener on the other side, as one would like to believe. In addition to a beautiful print, Nathi Ndlandla has masterfully woven a thought provoking narrative into his landscape.
