Row one, from top left to right:

Mom and Son is a makeup and paper drawing measuring 8.5 by 11 inches, featuring two figures- a young boy with a light brown complexion, brown hair,  a blue shirt, and green pants, and a woman with a lighter complexion in a red and white patterned outfit with a red hat. They are on a grassy field with autumn colored trees in the background. The figures are both smiling with closed mouths, and appear to be in motion, the mother holding the son and seemingly swinging him from side to side. The texture appears rough and the work lacks sharp, dark lines, making the image appear softer and almost blurred. In the bottom left corner, a small signature is written in black, uppercase letters spelling “GLO.”

Spring Garden is a makeup on paper drawing that measures 8.5 by 11 inches. It features a mix of red flowers, a large white and red flower on the right, green stems, and a faint butterfly with brown wings near the center. The background is silvery and almost reflective. The texture is thick and the brushstrokes are expressive.

African Baskets is a makeup on paper drawing measuring 8.5 by 11 inches. Both figures are holding large baskets on their heads, with the one on the right faceless and the one on the left’s face is covered by their arm. The woman on the left has a medium brown complexion and is wearing an orangeish yellow robe that is off the shoulder and has dark hair up in a bun, while the man on the right has a dark brown complexion  is dressed in a dark green and brown robe that exposes most of his chest and is draped over his right shoulder. The woman is turned away in profile. The man’s basket is filled with bright but indistinct produce, and he is facing forward. The background is done in bright green, yellow, and brown, suggesting an outdoor setting with trees and bushes around them. The brushstrokes are thick and expressive, with the man outlined in soft black lines.

Row two, from center left to right:

Rise and Shine Collage is 8.5×11 inches in size and uses collage, makeup, paper, and photocopies to create a colorful, hand-painted piece of art divided into four panels, each with a motivational message. The text is somewhat rough and painted in different colors. The panels say: Top Left: “RISE AND SHINE,” Top Right: “REACH FOR THE STARS,” with a small star and person shapes above the words. Middle across both panels: “Promote Peace,” Bottom Left: “Smile Within” with a smiling face illustration. Bottom right: “Seek the Light.” Along the bottom on a dark strip, it says “BE BOLD,” “Listen for Song,” and “BE KIND.” The texture is thick and appears oily and slightly shiny.

Peace and Joy is a painting 12×12 in size using makeup and cardboard of a man in profile, facing right and looking up at the sky, taking up the foreground, middle, and background with medium brown skin and curly black hair, wearing a red headband with red circles. The background features a colorful arc resembling a rainbow that starts behind the person’s head and curves forward into the foreground of the piece. The figure is dressed in red and gold tones, and the painting style is textured and expressive, with visible brush strokes. There is an almost oily texture to the piece, with parts of the cardboard coming through under the thinner layers. The bottom right corner has a small signature in capital letters spelling “G L O.” The person is smiling slightly and appears calm, giving the viewer the same sense.

Be Joyful Collage is 8.5 x 11 inches in size and is made up of collage, makeup, paper, and photocopies. It is a colorful, textured artwork divided into four sections with positive messages. The top left section reads “BE Joyful,” and the top right has a heart with “GOD IS LOVE” inside. The middle blue and yellow band reads “Count Blessings.” The bottom left heart-shaped area says “Believe in Miracles,” and the bottom right says “Listen for the song.” Along the bottom, it reads “Sparkle With Joy.” The texture appears thick with a blotting technique used to create a blended backdrop in a variety of pinks, greens, yellows, blues, and reds. The words are almost all outlined with white, with “count blessings” and “sparkle with joy” outlined in a dark blue.

Row three, from bottom left to center right:

Daughters of Africa is a makeup on paper drawing measuring 8.5 by 11 inches, picturing four people against a soft, orange background. Each person is depicted with distinctive facial features and clothing. The person on the left has a lighter tan complexion and is bald, wearing large yellow hoop earrings and a headwrap, and a colorful almost coiled neck piece. The person in the center is looking to the side, with a medium brown complexion and short, cropped brown hair. She is wearing an off the shoulder light blue gray robe that is tied at her left shoulder. The woman on the right is in profile, and only their face and neck can be seen. They have a medium brown complexion and blurred facial features. The woman on the far right is looking head on and has a medium brown complexion. She is wearing a large ornamental collar and a colorful headdress and medium sized gold hooped earrings. The drawing is vibrant, with an expressive style  and thick texture, using orange, brown, yellow, and blue tones. All four of the women seem close and in community with each other.

A Fruit Market is a rectangular artwork that is 8.5×11 inches in size using paper and makeup. It features four abstract, roughly painted female figures. The figures are gathered around several woven, brown baskets filled with colorful foods. The scene uses vibrant colors, such as reds, greens, blues, and yellows, with thick, raised brush strokes that give a three-dimensional, almost sculpted effect. The women are all wearing bright colors and have wide, open mouthed smiles. The two on the left have lighter brown complexions, and the two to the right have medium brown complexions. The scene is joyful and communal.
