I might delete my GoFundMe because it has received no traction. I've only received $100 from it. Far from my goal.

Thanks to my friend James Horton, I have just discovered the work of Danish painter of Peder Mørk Mønsted (1859-1941) and HOW CAN A PERSON NEARLY A HUNDRED YEARS AGO PAINT SOMETHING THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A PHOTO ON AN IPHONE WHAT IS THIS ABSOLUTE SORCERY.

Photo....no, wait, a PAINTING, by Peder Mørk Mønsted, of the snow-laden banks of a river that looks absolutely photo-real.

Another painting by Peder Mørk Mønsted that looks utterly photo-realistic of a tree-lined river with utterly convincing shades of green-tinted darkness and perfect reflections in the river below.
