Today in the studio I mixed up a lightly pigmented Cadmium Yellow Glaze to apply to the leaf. I'm hoping for the glaze to brighten the lights, deepen the darks. Then, because I'm aging in an Open Boat in corporate America, I continued painting some rocks to throw.

This comes just weeks after a mother from Maryland was denied the right to be at her son’s side as he died from cancer.

If this country was truly “pro-life,” we would have Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, gun reform, universal child care, and a living wage.

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading.

Wow! This is some top-notch investigative journalism. The report claims the 3 million Epstein files released are only 2% of the total.
The massive scale of what’s still missing is hard to comprehend.

This is my second practice of painting cosmic clouds and nebula in space. I'm trying to practice on multimedia paper before moving back to Cosmic Cowboy canvas.
It is definitely a blending game. Here, I can see exactly where I should've stopped.

My guess, with Mayes, Kelly, and Fontes, ICEs retreat from Minnesota will lead to a ramp up in Arizona.
Just a hunch....but it's been growing for weeks.
