Day 150! Two paintings from 1861

In the spirit of brotherhood, I was thinking of how I could merge (what may appear to be) opposing cultures.  In 1861 two paintings were created, one in the west, highlighting opulence-a showman's ship of proving wealth, and the other painted to inspire others to relinquish monetary possessions and to give their lives over to service of spirithood.  Here these two worlds crash, but anyway they seem to be at peace with one another.

Happy 150 days of artmaking to me! Way to go! Keep it up!

3 things I'm grateful for today:
1) A Brilliant Haircut-Looks so great, feels so great. Thanks Maryanna!
2) Caramel Ice cream
3) That Chilly walk home, so refreshing!
