1.2M immigrants are gone from the US labor force under Trump, preliminary data shows trib.al/gkaZMRA
Don't believe everything you hear – asylum seekers have it far from easy in this country.

From northern border towns to major hot spots like Las Vegas and Los Angeles, popular travel destinations reported hosting fewer foreign visitors this summer. https://to.pbs.org/4n0Luqh
The App is Sketches and here is an under drawing in a separate layer—a fun trick that you can’t really do with paper, light table excepted and eraser, too. Oh well, maybe you can do it but the App makes it so easy.
The US may actually be loopy enough to try this. 🧪
4 e-drawings, but I don’t know the program. I believe they were done with Dollar Store stylus. I enjoy this style. I enjoy that the stylus is always full—endless lines. #contemporaryart #traditionalart #artsky. #fineartmodel #drawing #fineart #art #figure

Today—years later, I might add some white chalk, pencil or gouache. (Maybe)
Pearl. Felt tip An old, used felt tip is a wonderful instrument. So is an incredible model. #contemporaryart #traditionalart #artsky. #fineartmodel #drawing #fineart #art #figure www.rmhershberger.com
Trump is trying to illegally fire a Federal Reserve governor. If we let Trump play politics with the economy, working families will pay the price for instability and higher prices.
Woman Wading I and I. Felt tip A couple of these for warmup and my head is in an art space. The secret id to give up on perfection and work for a completeness. #contemporaryart #traditionalart #artsky. #fineartmodel #drawing #fineart #art #figure www.rmhershberger.com
A little morning walk as August winds down.
The federal government apparently believes that assaulting journalists covering protests is legal because "videotaping can lead to violence." The First Amendment says otherwise. All Americans should be disturbed by this outrageous argument. We don't have secret police in the U.S.
lol! Not “any” restaurant, I know (knew) my limits — not anymore. Thanks!
@politicalamericans.bsky.social I have a pocketful of cash, much more than I used to carry. I stopped to get something to eat, not enough cash.— it’s not the ’60’s, ‘70’s, 80’s, 90’s, 2000,s, 2010’s any more. How’s your cash flow?
@politicalamericans.bsky.social There’s no one more litigious than an “anti-trial lawyers Republican.”

Can an old man have a fashion opinion? I think it’s super but would like a moment of relief. Maybe a black belt.

In the Matter of Lisa Cook She is refusing to acknowledge the Trump edict, so the ball is in Trump's court. Will he send in his thugs to escort her out? Will he have Elon's geek squad lock her out of her computer access or cancel her building access? What's the next move?
This. 100%.
lol! Completely unintended- now I’m stuck with your vision
Reading line drawing I love it when my head is in the contour drawing space. #contemporaryart #traditionalart #artsky. #fineartmodel #drawing #fineart
Plus, it’d take a huge crew to pull off, and someone would snitch. It’s like sneaking a million fake game tickets past security—too tricky to work! 9/end ------------------------- Paper ballots are literally the safest and most secure way to vote. Please share this information.
I wasn't overreacting.
Once again…
The Trump administration has expelled more than 8,100 people to places where they do not hold citizenship since January 20. interc.pt/3HIfZBS
🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.
Inbred stupidity. But the election was stolen. No way did he win every swing state. No fucking way
Yes. Kamala was right. Why did anyone vote for Trump?
It was NOT out of the thin air... '‘DICTATOR’ TRUMP PLANS TO DEPLOY MASSIVE NUMBER OF TROOPS ON U.S. SOIL' - RollingStone 11/14/23 👇WAPO published this article in 2023 -->( a copy no longer available on line.)
The many are all his personalities and his sycophants!
A devastating new milestone: key indicators confirm that conditions have officially reached famine levels in the #GazaStrip. Our colleagues are on the ground doing everything possible to deliver for children in #Gaza, despite the immense challenges. Follow us for humanitarian updates. #promoted
I love those cheesy 19th century #landscape paintings. And what I especially enjoy is giving them a new color scheme. This is based on a mostly brown Corot. I gave it a broader spectrum of warm and cold colors to make it more dreamy. #art #blueskyart #watercolor #painting #traditionalart #artwork
Arizona does not vet new voucher schools. Not even if the school or the online school “provider” has already failed, or was founded yesterday, or is operating out of a strip mall, or offers just a half hour of instruction per morning. (Published Dec. 2024)
No president in history has moved this fast—not to help, but to hurt America and antagonize allies. To crush, to divide, to break. Never before. Putin has him on schedule.
Double model. Acrylic sketches on paper I had planned to cut the two apart but decided I liked the two together. I do that occasionally #contemporaryart #traditionalart #artsky. #fineartmodel #drawing #fineart #art #figure www.rmhershberger.com
Gee, I thought I had answered this. I have a public studio, a home studio and an attic—all full, plus those that have sold. So way too many. A 50* year career. Always had to teach at artscenters to finance the art habit. Sorry response was so slow.
Nancy Mace’s campaign event fizzled in Myrtle Beach, with just eight attendees showing up for her Moms for Liberty speech before it was canceled.
The takeover is a “performative” “stunt” in the sense that it’s political theater designed to distract from Trump’s tanking approval rating and the Epstein scandal. But it’s also more than that: an authoritarian show of force that is genuinely terrorizing innocent people. trib.al/tfFQXqO
The Trump Justice Department has fired or demoted more than two dozen Jan. 6 prosecutors, even as those they sent to prison walk free. One called it the whitewashing of a traumatic event in U.S. history.
The Trump administration has moved to end temporary protected status for immigrants from Honduras and other countries. Among them are health care workers tending to older and disabled people.

Thanks for the kind repost. We lost our model to the acting bug. She was so good at transformation
🤦♀️🤦♀️🤦♀️
This is objectively hilarious.
Something so disheartening about watching the breakdown of public trust. Have we really reached a point where people are even questioning the truthfulness of a convicted child sex trafficker about the man who could commute and pardon her at the stroke of a pen?
More Terra rosa oil sketches. The young boy walking out with a bucket is 24”x 30” oil on canvas.. #contemporaryart #traditionalart #artsky. #fineartmodel #drawing #fineart #art #tr #figure #oilpainting www.rmhershberger.com

Thank you. These are from reference photos. It’s the honesty of the poses that escapes my imagination. I really admire that quality in many old masters.
Thank you, I enjoyed your page, especially the kudzu. I’ve tried to paint it and get a pile of collard greens. The kids in Terra rosa are . Unmatted: 11”x16”
I still like to paint this creek. I should have worked more on the composition and not divided the painting nearly in half. Watercolor on hot press paper, 6"x9"

If you are interested I painted these with titanium white and terra Rosa oil paints. The ground is tinted acrylic gesso— a lavender muted with a little orange.

Accurate.
“What the current president is doing to remake and neuter the White House press corps is an important but significantly underreported story. It is trampling your right to know, in service of making him look good. The casualty of this push and pull is the truth.” -Dan Rather
What did MAGA miss in school that now they should understand? I’m going to go with tariffs and who ends up paying for them.
Ballerina. Oil on gessoed paper. Young ballerina wandered into my old public studio. Her mom suggested some poses and this is the result. I enjoy this sketching style. #contemporaryart #traditionalart #artsky. #fineartmodel #drawing #fineart #art #figure #oilpainting www.rmhershberger.com
After mass nationwide boycotts against Target for choosing to end their DEI (diversity equity inclusion) program, they have lost over $12B in sales and the CEO has also officially resigned as a result. Love it, power of the people. 💙👊
Это загадка, окутанная тайной.
Cost of public college tuition: Sweden: $0 Norway: $0 Finland: $0 Denmark: $0 United States: $9,596 When Republicans say it's OK to give billions in tax breaks to the top 1%, don't tell me we can't afford to make public college available for free.
Hundreds of D.C. residents ran federal forces out of the Columbia Heights neighborhood, yelling, “ICE GO HOME.” This is how you do it. This is people power. This is resistance. The Trump regime will lose because—across this country—we the people reject their fascist vision for our nation.
He take from the poor to give to the rich - disgusting! #Pinks #ProudBlue

Let me see 100,000+ Russians are in the country illegally, 500,000+ Europeans are here in the country illegally… How many of them have you seen mass raided were thrown to the ground?… I forgot they’re white! We just support brown people.
