What a great painting!
Does anyone know other paintings/drawings of succulents? I am especially interested in mesembs. I have a dozen images (mostly South African post stamps depicting mesembs) and would be glad to share them if anyone is interested.

Ralph, my late hubby cut this: http://www.wikipaintings.org/en/carl-sp ... ctus-lover out of a magazine and framed it many years ago. It has faded badly, but if you want it, it's yours!

thanks for your kind offer! Perhaps you could pass it on to Sylvia to pass on to me?

Is there anything I can send you in return?

I have just realised I can download the picture and print it myself, which will perhaps be a bit better than your faded one - if I can now find myself a nice frame.

Thanks!

How? It looks like we can only view a small portion of the painting at a time.

These are great watercolors! The price is steep thought.
