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
