Untitled - Man and Boy, Blow Dart Shooters

In this unique watercolor on paper, Norma Howard presents a pair of subjects, perhaps a father and his young son, both aiming a bamboo blowpipe into the unseen canopy. The two wear simple loincloths, their jet-black hair standing out against a backdrop that transitions from pale green in the foreground to light cream in the composition's upper half. Silhouettes of trees punctuate the scene, along with the subtle detail of the young boy's dart mid-flight, suspended in the air. This delicate and evocative piece captures a moment of shared focus and connection between the figures, highlighting Howard's ability to convey depth and emotion through minimalistic yet powerful imagery.
