The Oumphor
by: Wilnerle Fevre, 1975


There are over 107 worshippers (not to mention the animals) colourfully
depicted in this realistic painting of a Voudon Ritual..

I walked past it every day in a store-front window on Haight Street for
over  two years, and I always had my eye on it, then one day it wasn't
there!   I rushed in to inquire about it and the owner said that the store
was packing up to relocate.  Needless to say, I bought the painting
and have enjoyed it ever since!

He also had mentioned (to the best of my recollection) that he had
acquired the painting from a mysterious man who had left it with him for
an appraisal, but the mysterious fellow never returned to claim it.
