My mother and her painting

My mother was a painter amateur. She made many works on canvas and was technicaly very good. She learnt a lot from our Primary school visual art teachers.
Here is her work and her photo taken by a local photographer at holidays maybe 1957 or 1958 at island of Ugljan what is half an hour by ship from the on shore city of Zadar (Croatian Adriatic Sea). At the time in the city of Zadar were working two famous Croatian photographers Brkan brothers, great fine art photographers.
Once upon a time my mother said her son would drive Mercedes. She was right I drive a ten years old Mercedes as a NZ taxi driver, not as a Croatian barrister as she thought. Bad luck!
