Oil painting of the front of a building with ornate columns and many windows. The windows are reflecting the blue sky and the building has a warm, yellowish face. Pigeons are sitting on the various overhangs of the building and several are flying through the scene. The painting is a wide, landscape orientation.

Whew. This one has taken awhile.

Framed oil painting of a sunset landscape with a warm, dark, silhouetted mountain range at the bottom of the composition. Above it, in the middle of the painting, is a solitary cloud painted in dark oranges and purples. At the top right is a small crescent moon with a very small white dot of the planet Venus to its side. The sky starts off as a very saturated orange along the horizon but fades to bright teals and blues in the middle and then dark blues at the top.

"Up to 28% of US working immigrants are physicians." pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov

May 5 (Reuters) - The European Union and France on Monday announced half a billion euros worth of incentives to lure scientists to the continent, seeking to profit from U.S. President Donald Trump's federal funding cuts and clashes with top U.S. universities.

This is about all of us. Never forget that.

"The United States is like the Titanic. Too big to turn, too slow to react, in denial about sinking, there aren't enough lifeboats for every passenger except the 1% ultra rich , and the orchestra keeps playing as if nothing is happening."

“Tantrum” 8” x 10” oil on panel. A new piece off the easel.

At midnight, a 104% tariff will be slapped on Chinese imports. It will be interesting to see the reaction of trump’s cult on their next trip to Walmart when they realise that prices have doubled.
