Let’s give him credit…. At least the corruption isn’t hidden. He’s doing it right out in the open. The name “Trump” will be treated like Benedict Arnold’s name within the decade

This is Alex Pretti, the man the pedophile admin called a "domestic terrorist."

Here he is reading the final honors, honoring a soldier who had passed away at the hospital he was a nurse at.

We will not let the right tarnish his reputation!!

Walz: "To Americans who are watching this, I've got a question for you: What side do you want to be on? The side of an all powerful federal govt that can kill, injury, menace, & kidnap its citizens off the streets? Or on the side of a nurse at the VA hospital who died bearing witness to such govt?"

They can’t defend this horror.

Alex Pretti was an American hero. He saved lives. He protected people. He cared deeply about his community, unlike the murderous thugs who killed him.

I didn't go for too much detail in this painting and that's a good thing. I exhibited and sold paintings at a few galleries for 3 decades or more (this was sold from one of several mixed shows at the Linda Blackstone Gallery which was at that time in Pinner. I don't seek out galleries now because the framing, travel, commission etc does make it unviable - also too much work for someone my age!

One more Cambridge May Week scene, quite a large painting combining materials. Quite an evocative hazy image like butterflies in the mist. This is one of the paintings sold at exhibitions at the Linda Blackstone Gallery a few years ago.
