JumpStart – Old Age

https://www.facebook.com/WillBowen/videos/723959394819384/

As you look at this final painting in the Voyage of Life series by Thomas Cole, note that the voyager’s face is peaceful and serene while his gaze is upward toward his continuation to the next journey.

Having seen one of the two sets of original paintings of this series by Thomas Cole I can tell that there is something missing in EVERY version of this image on the internet (including the thumbnail you’re seeing now) and, sadly, it’s really the point of this painting.

In today’s JumpStart, I tell what’s missing and why it’s essential.

Hint: read “The Little Prince.”
