Tail End at the End of the Day
Yesterday evening Annyth and I, each of us with a glass of wine, sat out on the deck of our rental listening to the birds as they sang the day to a close. I had my iPad. Before night fell and lightning bugs began appearing, this is what I could see through the deck’s railings:

Allen Weisselberg: MAGA Archetype
To one degree or another, every MAGA Republican is Allen Weisselberg.
Twilight Zone: Georgia, District 14
Don’t ask me why I wanted to paint her, but once I did, I thought I’d run the freehand, Sketch Club image through PhotoSpeak to make it even creepier. Go ahead, click.
Here’s the image itself.
Thank you for the clarification, Senator Scott.

“The real opposition is the media. And the way to deal with them is to flood the zone with shit.” Steve Bannon

Here in Athens, Ohio, naturally, you’ll find the Cannabis Museum. Please take a good, long look at the Museum’s website in case you’re unfamiliar with or interested in learning more about the artistic, historic, medical, and industrial uses of cannabis…especially prior to 1937, when sadly, fear, ignorance, and greed vilified and marginalized this lucrative and self-sustaining venture. Here’s yet another similar museum in Barcelona, Spain (Catalonia), where you’ll find the photo reference I used to paint (freehand) the vintage-looking medicine bottle using my iPad Pro, an Apple Pencil, the Sketch Club app, and a tweak or two in iColorama.

I’m intrigued by the amber-colored, old-fashioned medicine bottles; and by the way, the Cannabis Museum in Athens, Ohio has a ton of these artifacts! Here’s just a glimpse of the ever-evolving exhibits. Check it out. When you do, you’ll see first hand that this story didn’t end in 1937; far from it! There is a promising future thanks to the vision, competence, and creativity of folks of all ages and from all walks of life.
