Now you know why we are where we are today. Last year, he said we destroyed Iran's nuclear capabilities. That was another lie.

Wishing you a happy new year.

“Out of touch” isn’t it.

A president who gilds the Oval Office in gold, slaps his own name on a cultural institution, tears down the East Wing for his own vanity project, and then tells us the affordability crisis is all in our heads.

It’s not out of touch; it’s contempt for the people he governs.

My painting inspired by Bob Dylan’s “Mr. Tambourine Man”.

Yes, to dance beneath the diamond sky
With one hand waving free
Silhouetted by the sea
Circled by the circus sands
With all memory and fate
Driven deep beneath the waves,
Let me forget about today until tomorrow.

Oops, I muted you by mistake.

Yes, it is, Linda. About 10 minutes from home. I gave a giclee copy to the store owner. He’s hung it on the wall with a photo of John Wayne and other pictures.

Here’s my contribution to the #Blueskyartshow with today’s theme of #angles. It’s my “Trabuco General Store”, 16” x 12”, oil on canvas.

For #blueskyartshow with theme of #alternating, here’s my “Tropical Wood”, oil on canvas, 16” x 20”.

A true beauty.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." 

-Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

@blueskyartshow.bsky.social . I don’t know if this painting of mine qualifies for today’s #Narrow theme, but that bridge could be wider.

Since it is Juneteenth, I will share a lil something...

My ancestors were slaves in Texas & were freed on June 19, 1865. They came together to meet with other ex-slaves & formed the Limestone County 19th of June Organization. They bought 30 acres of land on Lake Mexia.

For #blueskyartshow , some #joy !

Hegseth is now threatening to send the Marines to LA to suppress protesters against ICE’s brutal assault on immigrant garment workers.

Just process that: Sending in the *military* to crack down on protesters.

We’re now at severe risk of martial law. That’s what they’ve wanted all along.

Just a rounding error.

Among all the blue states Trump could target, why California? For that matter, why did he go after Canada the way he did? I have a theory:

The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon’s Governmental Subsidies and Contracts. I was always surprised that Biden didn’t do it!

Trump threatens to take away Elon’s government contracts

We’re going to need a bigger bucket of popcorn.

Ha! That’s a follow.

Thank you, Sheila.

For #BlueSkyArtShow with theme of #underneath : my *Trail By Dove Canyon*, 11” x 14” oil on linen board.

That’s a jewel.

Thank you, Linda.

Thank you, Koda.

Love it!
