The whole family heads home on a bicycle. Junior perches on the handlebars, shaded by his father's wide straw hat. Mother rides sidesaddle on the back with baby in a shawl on her back and a basket of corn on her head. Mother asks father what they should have for dinner, artist Andy Isong explains. When father suggests she make palm nut soup — his favorite — everyone laughs. Palm nut soup is quite laborious to prepare. The Nigerian painter applies fabric to the hat, basket and dress, and adds rope. Dried natural grass adds texture to the surrounding vegetation.
