"Saturnalia" was the Roman mid-winter festival
introduced around 217 BCE to raise citizen morale after a crushing
military defeat. Originally celebrated for a day, on December 17,
popularity grew it to week-long extravaganza where drinking and
debauchery started on the shortest day and continued through the
longest night. The customary greeting for the occasion is a "Io,
Saturnalia!" (pronounced "yo") The festival harks back to the Golden
Age of Man

*Coming West , was not easy during the 1800's. The gold rush in 1848 brought people here to California from all over the world,including Europe, latin america , Australia, China, and pioneers and frontier people from the East, they had to travel along side rivers,facing the elements, like wild life, etc..or travel across Panama on canoes, often they died of malaria and scurvy or both... the sick were often left behind. Colorado was a key point in coming this way. In this painting , i have included fur trappers , Outlaws, gold diggers ,which it shows them having a good time, and sometimes not so good. At the drop of a hat, you could get called for a fight back then, very little law and order if any ...it was a great way to start over, so the term Califonia Dream came from this 49ers.....


*What the twin territories of Oklahoma and the Indian Nations were full of in the later part of the 19th century. Known as the Robbers Roost, the territories became a safe haven for some of the old west's most desperate villains. With no law west of St. Louis and no God west of Fort Smith, Ark. the remnants of the Missouri Border Raiders and Texas Freebooters found the territories a safe place to conduct their illegal business from. Throw in the cowboys who were fast becoming extinct with the opening of the Oklahoma Territory to homesteaders and the invention of barb wire, and the homesteaders that sank every dime of their life's saving into the risky and often heartbreaking business of farming on the Oklahoma prairie, and you have an ample supply of desperate characters who were willing to attempt anything to acquire their fortunes, so california became sort of another safe haven for a while for outcasts and people seeking a new life, thanks have a pleasant day ^-^
