“Does it look like a barbecue?” It’s a painting, silly!

Some people cannot see the beauty of a painting. I have a friend visited me today. He had seen this painting of mine in the living room and said, "It looks like barbecues." Honestly, it is a painting that was given by my co-volunteer and was placed in Tanzania, Africa. The painting is “Maasai” warriors. It depicts the people to protect their territory. I fell in love having this painting and wanted to have more. I hope he changed his mind about the painting. “Does it look like barbecues?” “Do you like paintings?” Image Credit: Shavkat

@Shavkat I was reading about the warriors. It is not that easy to become a warrior.

no, i don't see the painting as BBQ, but the lean warriors clad in orange outfit, and the long sticks are their weapons. they have thin heads, and thin arms and legs as well.

At first glance it indeed look like barbecues. Though, as you look at it more, they seem like spear with big feathers. I love paintings, especially the colorful ones.
