Willows at Newnham mill pond, Cambridge, pastel.
Seems like the media should at least express some curiosity about this.

Rowley's Mansion, Shrewsbury. This plein-air painting taught me a valuable lesson: always wear warmer clothing than you think you’ll need. This painting is currently can be seen at the Housmans Restaurant in Church Stretton.

My plein air watercolour from 30 years ago showing the ice cream kiosk on Jesus Green, Cambridge
This view across the River Cam by the lock gates hasn't changed much since I painted this watercolour on the spot 30 years ago. I later produced a small oil using this as a sketch and I posted that on here recently.

Investigative Post obtained video of Border Patrol abandoning Nurul Shah Alam, the Buffalo refugee.
Border Patrol claimed the shop was open. The doors, however were locked. Agents never notified family or lawyers. Shah Alam died 5 days later.

Jacaranda trees in bloom lining Fairfax in South Hollywood, CA I consider this a very mediocre picture but I’m posting it today in contrast to yesterday’s amazing pic as a test. I paired yesterday’s with Malcolm X and those pics never do numbers. Methinks the folks on this platform need a lot more Malcolm in their lives. Ninnys.
