South African Artist Veronica Prins
I chanced upon this amazingly gifted South African painter. She doesn’t market her work, but she sells her art. I thought it was time I took her out of the closet and shared her with YOU. These are the works of VERONICA PRINS. Remember the name. I know you won’t have any trouble remembering her art. If you’re interested, please send me an email – jill@jillwallace.com – or shoot me a note via the contact page on this website, and I will put you in touch with Veronica. There is nothing in this for me other than a great pride in a talented fellow South African. ~~~~~

Father Christmas South African Style
Growing up in South Africa we didn’t have Santa. We had Father Christmas who still pops in to see us every year if we’re lucky ;o) Much like the U.S.A., South Africa is a melting pot of immigrants. The only real natives of South Africa are the San or Bushman people, so over the years we South Africans have merged traditions with those around us. ‘Monkey see, monkey do’, has made us marvelously adaptable. To that point, when we lived in South West Africa (before it was Namibia) there wasn’t a German person in our broadest circle, but my family adopted the tradition of giving gifts on Christmas eve from…
