The Prosperity Game - Day 18

During my trip here in Massachusetts, I've gotten the chance to pass through places with amazing natural beauty. I think this must be what is inspiring me to find artwork with nature themes. So, armed with $18000 and a need to dispose of it in a fun, joyful way, I've decided to bring this into my experience:



This painting is called "Road to Aspens" by Katherine McNeill. Do I even need to explain why I would want something this beautiful?! It is an original oil painting (54" x 84") of a Rocky Mountain landscape in the fall. When I saw it, I felt like I was walking down the road with a light jacket on, savoring the crisp autumn air, the sound of leaves crunching under my feet with the wind making the Aspen leaves rustle as they swing back and forth in the wind. All of that with a quick glance at the painting! I imagine if I study it for long, I'll paint myself right onto the road itself!
