Cactus Painting

These are twelve varieties of Soutwestern cactus, requested in a painting, by an architect I was dealing with at the time (1996), while decorating/paint finishing the offices of the Southwestern Bell Telephone Company in Johannesburg. They had bought a third of the South African telephone company, Telkom. I had it photographed at the time, in slide form, by a photographer friend of mine, Trevor Kobrin. Sadly it cannot be printed at the larger, original size of the painting, as I had hoped, but I may re-create the small individual cactus squares, shortly.
