Birthday calendar 3

I haven't gotten to see much of this year's Olympics, but in spite of all the political hoopla that gets attached to them, I am in love with the fundamental spirit of the games. They're all about unity, which I think we as a planet are greatly lacking. While it is easy to recognize yourself in the other (the good traits only, of course!), it is often difficult to see the other in yourself - to try to not set yourself apart, to not deem yourself to be somehow on a different level than your neighbor, but to know that at the very core of things we are all the same. This is the March page of my birthday calendar. It is acrylic, tempera, and charcoal on paper.
