Let’s see…
Trump is taking 10 billion to build detention centers for possibly holding 11 million illegal immigrants. You do the math.

There have been 256 mass shootings in the U.S. in 2025 (so far)

There was one mass shooting in Spain in the 1990’s.

I like living in Spain. 🇪🇸

Oh that’s how you’re able to draw the figures. I thought you painted with brushes. I couldn’t figure it out. I’ve always been abstract except for the occasional tree or bamboo paintings. Found object has always been my focus. I really do like your work.

Do you know who would know what is in the Epstein files? The lawyer who prosecuted the case.

Oh, wait.👀

Really cool! Where do you paint? I’m Wally struggling to find a studio space since we moved to Spain. Finding something with a way to ventilate has been especially challenging.

Very comforting!

What a shame! So beautiful! I was inspired to become a painter after sitting and staring at a painting of sunflowers by Van Gogh at The Met in NYC many years ago.
