Good interview with Colbert.

Durbin: ““I don’t presume that we have a majority going in,” Durbin said. “I think we have to listen carefully to all the members and particularly those who have some problems, trying to resolve [them].”

my son and dil went to this for her birthday. 🤩
We are going to see that in August
Six or so years ago we saw a similar show in France in an abandoned limestone underground mine in Les Baux de Provence near Arles (Les Carrieres des Lumieres). We actually saw Gustav Klimt and Vienna but here’s their Van Gogh show. Amazing venue
an artist could be immersed in the paint strokes and colors and return a changed artist!
you luckies. :o)
Just …awesome.😊
Wow, simply wow! 👍
Astounding! It’s coming to the ATL this summer. I’ve reserved for me and my twin granddaughters in August for their birthday. They are budding artists. Mostly Anime. Here I am in Anime.
That’s cool!
I love it! Precious 😍❤️🥰
WOW! please tell her to keep drawing from one who is more sporadic.
of course, the Netherlands has to outdo everyone.
