The US played very well today in the Knockout Round of 32, absolutely controlling the game,and winning handily 2-0 over Bosnia Herzegovina, even after one red card. Bravo! #USMNT #WorldCup26
A verdant simulacrum of the World Cup trophy, just for fun. Placed next to the television set. A vintage vase I found last year at a charity shop, and then I found the perfectly sized (and color) toy football yesterday at Fred Meyer. Forever Blue in the Evergreen state. #WorldCup #Washingtonstate ⚽

A little wood plaque I painted tonight after it sat on my counter for far too long. A bit different than my original idea, the fun part of painting is changing things up as you see what you are laying down. Bigger version coming soon. "Evergreen Resistance" Acrylic on wood 5" / 127mm diameter
