Aloe Sunset

Aoe marlothii at sunset watercolour in hand-made sketch-book with satin-finish linen paper

The fiery aloe in full bloom, the smell of the fragrant wild sage on a dewy morning and a beautiful sunset – a typical African Bushveld scene that makes one’s spirits soar!

Indigenous to South Africa, A. marlothii (also called the Mountain aloe) occurs from the North-West Province, Gauteng, Limpopo, Mpumulanga, Swaziland, Zimbabwe, Botswana and Mozambique to KwaZulu-Natal north of Durban, from sea level to 1 600 m.
