Slovenian artist Vinko Bogataj painted Morning in Lesce (pictured above) among other surreal and beautiful landscapes. If the name sounds familiar, you might remember that Bogataj was immortalized by ABC’s Wide World of Sports when they used his ski jump as the illustration for “the agony of defeat†in the show intro. {YouTube} Since retiring from his factory job in 2005, Bogataj has dedicated himself to his childhood dream of creating artworks.

I love seeing something done by a Slovenian! Not enough of us get our recognition. All too often thought of as Slovak. Grrrr
