Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent.
Opportunities are everywhere.
Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Love Richard Diebenkorn's paintings. Love the roughness. We've tried to work rougher at times and liked it. This is "Abby" - a young woman undergoing difficult PT with four nurses. 6'x5' #Portrait #portraitpainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting

Our "tandem" portraits of James from 2018. Each are 24x48. Acrylic. The idea of "Tandem Painting" was that we'd pick a photo and each do our own paintings from it and then compare. #portrait #portraitpainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork

James in 2018. We used to live 400 miles apart and we'd each work on the painting for a week and then move it to the other's studio for a week. It was a fun way of coroborating. #portrait #portraitpainting #Painting #AlamedaArt #Painter #Painters #Artist #Art #artwork #TandemPainting
