I have 4 paintings by an artist named J.P.Ludu. They seemed to be water colors,Black and white of black natives some with a head dress on, not native americans and they don't seem to be Africans. The painting is detail to the point that they look like they are photographs. The only information I got from the store I brought them, they were on assignment and the man who own them said they belonged to his death mother who travel the world. So, she apparently purchased them on one of her many trips.

I have some of his paintings, bought in Kenya in the 1960s. He used to paint several, sell them, buy some booze, end up in jail. Come out, and start again!

I have an excellent painting (25x35cm) by J P Ludu that I purchased while I was a surveyor in Uganda in the late 1950s. It is a watercolour of an African (head and shoulders only) with various adornments. I always believed him to be a Masai tribesman but he might be from one of the other East African nomadic tibes. Research is required to identify which one. I believe that Ludu was Kenyan but he was employed as a cartographical draughtsman in the Survey Department of Uganda at Entebbe. His work was in such demand that he quit his job and became a full-time artist.

I have a watercolour by J P Ludu that I bought in Kampala, Uganda in the late 1950s. J P Ludu was a cartographical draughtsman in the Lands and Surveys Department of Uganda. However his talent as an artist meant that he could readily sell his pictures to tourists visiting Uganda and to people working in Uganda like myself. He eventually decided to become a full time artist and returned to his native Kenya. My picture is a splendid painting of the head and shoulders of an African tribesman, possibly Masai but not sure. The facial features are particularly good
