Narragansett Bay from Fort Adams

From a recent visit to the East Coast. Narragansett Bay from Fort Adams (Newport, RI). A two page watercolor in a Moleskine sketchbook.

If a foreign adversary snuck into our Federal budget and cut science research and education the way we’re cutting it ourselves — strategically undermining America’s long-term health, wealth, and security — we would likely consider it an act of war.

A cartoon by Cori6 compares two scenarios. The top panel, labeled "PROJECT 1938," shows a group of people, including adults and children, disembarking from a train with a ramp, reminiscent of historical deportations. The bottom panel, labeled "PROJECT 2025," depicts a similar group of people disembarking from an airplane using a mobile staircase, suggesting a modern deportation scenario. The cartoon is signed "Cori6" in the bottom right corner.

I’m just an old-fashioned conservative who thinks that criminals should go to prison after receiving due process, and not to El Salvador or to the White House without it.

I'm planning two weeks, then a week to let paint cure before sealing it. After putting on a coat of primer, I use interior satin latex in addition to acrylic for painting accents. After figuring out the project palette, I take my swatch book down to Home Depot and have (215 ml) samples made.
