Sunburnt Afica,in pencil,paint and prose Published Hollywood CA T and E Hall 1965 More than Sunburnt Pub Johannesburg, Central News Agency 1958 and also Sunburnt Sketches of Africa same agency 1954, I do not own a oil painting but do won six prints in the size of greeting cards, These were sent to my parents from So Afica in the early 50's by my father's brother who was in residence in Johannesburg and Durbin. There are very few options in finding these books"
