This is a very beautiful painting of the cactus flower. Beautiful light colors on the petals, and I see the tiny stickers all over the stem. Your father sounds so sweet and special to give them to you with a smile for you to paint.Deborah Martin 01 Jun 2006

I'm surprised. Did you have any "free" time ever?:-))) Well, luckily it seems you can manage your time to recover "memories" and show them to all of us. Beautiful and delicate painting you did here; a well deserved tribute to your father, Aaron. I only want to know: which is the size of this painting? Boker tov, dear Nira. Have a wonderful Shabbat.
