Agnes Kasparkova
In spite of her striking resemblance to Jack Palance, Moravia resident Agnes Kasparkov’s talents lie elsewhere. The nonagenarian former farm worker picked up a new hobby when she retired. She began decorating the houses in her village with cobalt blue paintings featuring traditional Moravian motifs. Her neighbors were at first perplexed, but eventually came to appreciate and even celebrate Agnes’s beautiful, meticulous paintings on their outer walls. Do you think I could get her to come visit our little island with her brushes and her paints and her attention to detail?

Isn’t she talented?. And it really does add a lot to the beauty of the area.

It certainly does! I wish I could get away with something like that here, but I’m sure I’d be arrested for vandalism.

I LOVE these painted houses! I wish I had the talent, I would do the same thing to my house!

I absolutely would, too! (Except the salt water would fade it immediately.)

Oh my goodness–I totally get the Jack Palance comment. To have such talent–these homes are beautiful. I don’t have that much talent while I am working–let alone when I retire! God bless her.

If it happened in the U.S., she’d be in a locked dementia ward in two seconds, but I love that her designs are appreciated where she is.

Beautiful! There is something about that blue on the white that really appeals, isn’t there? I love that she is being kept busy through creativity and I rather like that she is creating a consistent look for her community and possibly putting it on the map.

The designs are so beautiful in blue and white. Very traditional looking. I hope I’m that interesting in my retirement!

Yes! We should start planning our eccentricities so we can develop our skills in time.
