Working on 1k painting goal. That's one of the things I can contribute to the rejection of communism. But miserable at the moment because my art book got kicked back from the printers due to a bad font that I now have to change in every instance where it occurs (a lot). So,

that's why you've not seen new paintings from me in a week or so... I'm stuck on the computer messing about with this mucky formatting. My jaw hurts from clenched teeth. So it's that and also of course the election that has us all paralyzed. We must plow through and not let them

stop us from living our lives. Anyway, I'm still honoring my promise to you, but there's a delay while I fix the book. Then, that collection of 50 will be finally published and I can resume work on the third 50-paintings collection.
For every one of us who sets an American dream,

and never quits...
we counter the curses against us.
What they want to destroy,
we must build and create,
discover, innovate...
stay the course,
hold the line.

God bless you, stay strong
