Original painting for the second book cover I designed for Dr. Joel Anthony Hamilton's fourth self-published book.
Twenty-eight-year-old Muriithi is an African Zebu herdsman. As such, he lives life on a schedule. Water the Zebu, feed the Zebu, protect the Zebu. These are big responsibilities yet simple tasks. He enjoys predictable things he can plan for; the dry season, the wet season, the birthing of calves, among other things.
He detests unpredictable events; leopard attacks, droughts, and disease. Unpredictable events make his job difficult, and anxiety-provoking, and can even threaten the lives of his Zebu.
