This atmospheric Folk Art painting on board is by the fabulous British Canadian artist Nancy Patterson. It comes from her series ‘Days in the Desert Sun, Nights Under the Magical Moon’ , a compelling set of paintings in the Folk idiom, made by Nancy about her life on the edge of the Desert in Southern Morocco. The paintings tell the narratives, the tales of the community that over the past eighteen years has become her home. Artwork details: Nancy Patterson, 'The Desert Fox', acrylics on mahogany plywood, unframed 24cm x 25cm, 2005. Initialed on the front. Provenance, directly from the artist studio.

There is something intriguing about paintings by the moonlight. Nancy uses the effect to emphasis the three main characters, herself, Daoud and the fox! Nancy narrates the painting, 'Daoud on his way to meet a local Elder, known as the Desert Fox, while a four legged Fox lurks about the background. Most men in the desert area around Mhamid wear traditional garments- a Gandoura (on Daoud) or a Djellaba (on the Fox) which look elegant when the wearer is just standing around or sitting on a camel, but a little strange on a bicycle or motorbike with a Shesh (turban) flowing in the breeze. A Shesh makes any man look good, and provides protection from sun and wind; almost all Moroccan men wear a Shesh most of the time, except when donning an unsuitable for the climate, western suit...
