Every Picture Tells a Story #5








I'm feeling very inspired by these beautiful Slovene beehive panels.
The earliest paintings date back to the 1750s but most were produced between 1820-1880.
I love folk art

Found thanks to Cocotazo

    Those are fascinating. I've never heard of that type of folk art. The old wood adds so much richness to the texture.

    These are beautiful, love that they are painted on wood. For a minute I thought they were from Sweden, we have simular folkart that is painted as well.
