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.
