The Prosperity Game - Day 19

Whenever I come back to visit the Northeast, I'm always amazed by the beauty of the mountains here. Although I very much enjoy living in the flat farm country of the Midwest for the openness of it, there's something magical about a mountain landscape that has always been enchanting. And apparently, I'm not the only one who feels that way, because I've found an amazing work of art where the mountains have inspired the artist to create a breathtaking vista, one that today's $19000 will gladly purchase:



This work is titled "Grace" by Joseph McGurl. It is an oil on panel painting (18" x 24") of the sun setting behind a craggy mountain. Look at the effect of the light with the setting sun. How do they do that?! People are so talented to be able to recreate such beautiful scenery, and I'm happy to have this hanging in my home now!
