My friend Jessica and I were brainstorming ideas one Monday afternoon. Over an out of state trip for her birthday. It took us a while to come up with some places. "How about Las Vegas?" she asked.

I came across an oil on canvas painting of everything I have learned what realism art is suppose to look like. The painting was of a man on a horse looking down on a boy with a dog close behind them on a dirt trail.

The artist of the painting was Asher B. Durand. Durand lived from 1796-1886; he painted…

This trip was different from the ones in the past, which usually meant going to San Antonio or taking the 8-hour-trip to see my grandparents. This time…
