04 April 11

Today marks the birthday of American painter Edward Hicks (April 4, 1780 – August 23, 1849). His most famous work is "The Peaceable Kingdom," but I also enjoy his portrayal of "Noah's Ark." This tie has a very peaceful tumble-ation of animals.














Peaceful people around the world also note that today is designated by the United Nations as the International Day for (Land) Mine Awareness and Assistance in Mine Action.
