In Gentle Steps Home, Keith Zenda beautifully captures a quiet, reflective moment from everyday Zimbabwean life. A woman walks , balancing what appears to be a bundle of sweet potatoes on her head, her movement calm and unhurried. The painting, layered over the printed text of a magazine, merges art and narrative—each word faintly visible beneath the brushstrokes, grounding her journey in the rhythm of ordinary stories. Her yellow bag and worn shoes tell of humble persistence, while the water bottle in her hand adds a tender realism. Part of Zenda’s Daily Life Series, this work honours the soft strength and dignity of women who carry life’s weight with serenity and grace.Try it!
