An almost Classical style landscape in oils: Expansive sky with sweeping clouds, shadows and patches of lapis near the top of the panel. The impression of land beneath the clouds on the left, leading across the foreground, with areas of olive and new gamboge/ochre, almost lost between the drifting clouds and waves breaking onto the coast at the very bottom of the composition. More lapis beneath the foam.

...And pros were cancelling their appearances.

Obviously, me going wasn't going to move the needle but they were very lovely and insistent, so we went.

I have never, ever fallen in love with a place and a people harder.

Art and music EVERYWHERE.

Stunning beauty ever direction.

I have lived in Europe for forty years and have often heard harsh criticisms of the USA but none have been worse than the criticisms trump himself has made about the USA from his position as its president.

Once again, the USA rightwing chose to destroy an individual (Hunter Hess) to serve the malignant agenda of their president and his fetid Republican Party.
Hillary Clinton was wrong they arenโ€™t deplorable, they are despicable.

When the U.S. Supreme Court said that you could detain people based on their race, their accent, or the language they spokeโ€ฆ there is nothing to preclude ICE from doing that while youโ€™re standing in line getting ready to cast a ballot.

His stage name is BAD BUNNY... a bad-ass artist and honey-of-a-Bunny. His given name is Benito Antonio Martรญnez Ocasio. He is a handsome 31-year-old American citizen. Make no mistake. 1917: The Jones Act grants U.S. citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. I'll be watching... I'm a huge fan!
