Hello John,

i am intrigued with that oil painting u have in your backround.

I have a SIMILAR one in my house..... an ORIGINAL I bought in DURBAN on one of my early Durban July trips.... at least 25 - 30 years ago !

Artist name i think is A.V.ELLCO.... looks like it.

i'm almost certain these 2 paintings are by the same artist

regards Elvis.

Felix - quite right - the July in 2010 was moved to SAT 31 July ( probably cause also around PAYDAY ) - won by BOLD SILVANO.
