Vladimir Kara-Murza 
Vladimir Kara-Murza He is a well known opposition activist who has faced life threatening conditions twice over the past several years resulting from apparent attempts to assassinate him by poisoning. Close friend Boris Nemtsov, also an opposition leader, was shot and killed near the Kremlin in 2015.
Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., called on the Trump administration and new U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson to “make Kara-Murza’s cause America’s cause,” to question Russian authorities on the incident and to “ultimately hold Putin accountable if he was targeted by the regime.” Trump has not announced any action and given his unwilling to criticize Putin for anything at all he probably won’t do anything in response.

Go, Figures
Go, Figures
Go, Figures started life as a regular modeling session but in acrylics, not the usual way to go. It evolved into this. The background is inspired by František Kupka’s Mme Kupka (1910). He was a Czech artist and she his wife. I saw the painting at the Nieu Gallery in NYC, at a special exhibit that included some of Klimt’s famous paintings.
