One thing Democratic leadership could do right now is to name an alternate HHS secretary--someone to provide ongoing public updates and health information. And do it for other departments too. Start showing voters what a Democratic government would look like--press conferences, speeches, all of it.

#ArtAdventCalendar Probably my last contribution for this year: Cranes, Port of Seattle. I've enjoyed seeing so much creativity here, not having to fight an algorithm to discover new things.

#artadventcalendar Day 17 "Douro" Watercolour, 42 x 26" 2015 (Sold, Private Collection) The Douro river in Porto sparkles at sunset with graceful rabelos afloat. For centuries Rabelos brought barrels of wine down from vineyards upriver for their transformation into port in riverside port houses.

Another oil on canvas panel painting I did during my 2023 residency. It’s hard to pick a favorite but this is one of them.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 10, sort of a work in progress. I liked this particular corner, but the rest of it, not so much. Will be giving it another shot at some point, hopefully with more success.
