Episode 369: Art May Be a Universal Passion

Terrastina puts up easels and canvases in the window of The Gallery. She paints a landscape from a photograph. People stop at the window to watch her.

Before long they are painting. They have big smiles on their faces. Many of them sign up for lessons. Art will sustain you forever, says Terrastina. Double your money back if you are not completely satisfied. Promise.
