In The Gift of Morning, Florah Maphosa presents a joyful portrait of childhood, where innocence and responsibility coexist. The smiling figure, rendered in expressive blue tones, gently holds a chicken — a symbol of care, sustenance, and everyday rural life. Set against a vibrant yellow and pink background, the painting celebrates warmth, resilience, and dignity found in simple moments. Maphosa’s use of color and gesture transforms an ordinary scene into a quiet affirmation of hope and human connection.Try it!
