They won't understand it. To them, (MAGAs) there is no difference between "western media" and propaganda. They don't understand that propaganda is designed to elicit a specific reaction from the view/reader...whereas facts are...well...just plain facts.

This is my home. Or it used to be, before I moved to the midwest. I lived about two miles north of the Lone Cypress, in the MPCC area of Pebble Beach, then later on Ocean Ave in Carmel, a Comstock cottage just up the hill from town. Do you have a gallery there? I'll be visiting sometime this year.

So...the next Kennedy Center Honors will go to Ted Nugent, Kanye, and the Village People??

I think NOT. Hands off our cultural venues, Trump. You have no class, and it shows.

The boundaries are because LA city needs access to the Port of Los Angeles, correct? Hence the skinny line from LA proper to the docks...which are actually closer to the city of Long Beach.

Can't seem to ever find a distinct "style"...always get too distracted by a new idea/medium/look. Maybe it's "art ADD"?😜

Gold Leaf Tree; acrylic/gold leaf on masonite. Difficult to photograph well enough to show gold leaf accurately...any suggestions on photographing highly reflective mediums welcome, thanks!

Interesting ground, paper mounted to panel. I've mounted linen to board before but never paper to board.

What do you use for the mount adhesive that doesn't seep through the paper?
