A woman-painter from Lvov in Sandomierz


 Walking around the Old Town in Sandomierz I stopped to look at a picture of a cat among others for sale resting against the wall. They were all works of Swietlana Nazarenko, a self-taught artist from Lwow (a beautiful city which is now in Ukraine, but used to be part of Poland until WW2). She showed me many more of her paintings and drawings. Her favourite is the one depicting the Lvov Angel. She posed for me holding it. Of course, my two friends didn't notice that I stopped and so I had to dash to catch up with them. They were far beyond the Opatow Gate when I joined them.
