En la “Utopía” de Thomas More, publicada en 1516, el oro y las piedras preciosas no tienen valor. De hecho, han sido lastradas por la sangre, la esclavitud y la locura humana….

Winter Whimsical Owl Art

Ideas and Advice for How To Live a Joyful and Empowered Life.

This is another art trading card painting I did back in 2006 with acrylics and colored pencil.

I love owls. My daughter got off work one night and there was a big light-colored one standing on a car two cars away looking at her. Her co-worker took a picture and she sent it to me – she was so excited.  I would have been too!  I still haven’t seen one in real life (possibly at a zoo a long time ago but I don’t remember).  Hoping I’ll get a chance meeting with one someday.  🙂

English History

Book 1,Chapter 2, Pre 55 BC – The Early Britons – Continued

Besides what has been advanced, they could not have been absolute savages, who reared those gigantic and wondrous monuments, which the hand of Time during eighteen centuries has not been able to destroy. Mere brute strength could not have lifted up rough pillars at Stonehenge and Avebury, or the various “cromlechs” still existing in various parts of the land. Some acquaintance with mechanical laws and forces must have been possessed by those who erected the piles, whenever they were reared, and for whatever purposes they were used. Their design and use have been matters of conjecture for a period of at least seven hundred years. Henry of Huntingdon, who wrote in the early part of the twelfth century, gave a list of British wonders, among which Stonehenge occupies the second place. He says, “At Stanhenges, stones of…
