Kafir fig. Original coloured pencil drawing by Kraftikats' Shop


Beautiful, sunny, daisy like flowers of the Kafir Fig or Hottentot Fig as it is also known. An original watercolour pencil drawing drawn on grainy Fabriano paper and as this plant grows low and spreads like a carpet it lends itself to this rather stylised image quite well. The artist looks after her horde of animals although sadly, 3 of her 10 indoor cats have left them recently. I suppose they have their own little destinies too but it´s painful nonetheless. The 3 outdoor cats are still doing fine and enjoying the better weather!!

  2. What a lovely drawing... the flowers must be so very beautiful in person as well.

    My deepest sympathies in regards to adjusting to animals no longer being there in person. Loss is difficult, darn it !
