    I got this yesterday...I am tight as all hell and only ever pay £1 for things but I actually spent £2 on this :eek:

    I am sure the artist is Nevah Kumalo? It's from South Africa so I have no idea how it got to my little part of the British Isles

    I've searched and have found a SA artist named Kumalo but his name is Sydney and he was dead ten years before this was made.

    I have more than ten pics so I'll spread them over two posts.

    Am I reading it correctly? Maybe someone can find something about Nevah Kumalo, I certainly can't.

    (In the frame, it's approx 34 cms by 28 if that helps at all)

    Many thanks x x

    "I am tight as all hell and only ever pay 1 pd " ... a woman after my own heart ! Its a lovely watercolor,I hope you can find out more but it should sell on decorative merit alone.

    (As a coincidence...I invested 50p yesterday in another picturre of SA,this time a Squatter Camp in Cape Town by a totally different artist in a totally different charity shop. I don't like it as much as the other but THERE'S A THEME! So I had to get it too :eek: )
    Quick down n dirty pics:

    I like that one too.
    If you have a shed you can turn it into a South African themed annex.:)
    Otherwise hang them from the ceiling.:cool:
