Summer, 1889
Last days of August passing by I wish the summer would last longer.But at least at this picture the summer lasts forever! Ivana Kobilica, one of the biggest painters from Slovenia ,won big international recognition with this work at the time.Have a look at all these flowers, smell the summer ,enjoy the colors of flower petals …..and visit Slovenian national Gallery in Ljubljana to admire it……..
