And here I thought no one uses Conte crayons anymore more. Very lovely portrait!

Well he easily conned Christians and Jews; so, why should Muslims be any different?

Right, winning is not enough for the craven supporters of rapist Trump. This reminds me of what Gore Vidal’s said: “It is not enough to succeed. Others must fail.” Trump and his kind are both extremely poor winners and extremely poor losers.

Don’t forget to remind Liberal Weather Control Committee to get it right on Election Day: Perfect weather in the Pittsburgh and Philadelphia and other urban areas and cold, rainy in Pennsyltucky. I intend to vote 17 times again and I really need nice weather.

Just for kicks, everyone should read Isaac Asimov’s argument that the earth and moon are unique in our solar system and really constitute a double-planet system (1975, “Just Mooning Around,” Asimov on Astronomy, Anchor Press/Doubleday New York)

Sure, here is a not-so-recent portrait using Conte crayons and a white-colored pencil of my granddaughter.

I think you are off to a very good start with your relatively new water coloring hobby! Unlike other painting mediums it can be very unforgiving but very rewarding once you master it.

When this dumb controversy comes up it’s usually about a woman with a PhD (e.g., Fox News ranting about Dr. Jill Biden). It’s never about men because, well, they are men who magically and always deserve the title (e.g., Dr. Henry Kissinger, Dr. Sebastian Gorka).

Also, in YouTube search for “gimp background removal” I found a few useful videos there. (I think)

I assume in GIMP the Background is a Layer. If so, then add another Layer and use that in place of the current Layer. Or just make the current Background Layer white. Is this feasible? Disclaimer: I am not a GIMP expert, but I am familiar with many desktop CAD and Graphics apps and most use Layers.
