Image of the castle, The Rock of Cashel in Ireland. The image shows a before-and-after of how I digitally edited my photo to look like a painting. The left half shows the original photo, and the right half shows it after the painterly effects were added. The scene is the castle against a white sky at the top of a bright green hill. At the base of the hill is a gentle pasture with sheep.

"Standing Figure," part of Alphonse Mucha's collection, exudes ethereal charm with its delicate rendering of a woman surrounded by swirling, atmospheric forms. This artwork exemplifies Mucha's signature Art Nouveau style, characterized by graceful figures and fluid, ornamental lines.

Really? Qatar gets its own air force facility inside the United States? Why? When Trump is fighting the "enemy within" America and kicking out anyone who can't prove they belong here?
