"Portrait of a Man with Hibiscus Flower (Félix)," Glyn Philpot, 1932.
Philpot (1884-1937) was an English painter known mostly for his portraits. Early in his career he was very Realist, and very similar to John Singer Sargent. Like Sargent, he had a good income from his portraits, which gave him room to travel and experiment artistically.
Late in his life, as we see here, he began to experiment with Modernism. Philpot, although a typical British white guy, began to be noted for his portraits of Black people, and how he portrayed them with dignity and sensitivity.
At this point in his career, his work was also expressing the conflict between his devout Catholicism and his own homosexuality. Philpot had a longtime partnership with another artist, Vivian Forbes, which ended a few years before Philpot's passing, from a stroke.
The identity of the sitter here is unknown; all that is known is his first name, Félix.
Happy Portrait Monday!

Pirate Party condemns unlawful US seizure of tankers
It weighs on our hearts that our government has decided to take action against the crews shipping oil. Just as we are against civil asset forfeiture, this too is an action that just steals from those sailors who are simply trying to make a living. With zero due process in international waters, Trump has directed our military to steal from those who do not align with his political stance.
This is not a dissent against our military brothers and sisters, who carried out the raids. They did so without harming the ships or the people, preforming at a level of excellence we have come to expect from them. Instead, this is a top down action that put both our military personnel and the merchant marine in harms way. They were not transporting illegal goods. They were transporting oil.
Those in the administration claim this is to stop tyranny while they are acting tyrannical. They claim this is for justice while holding no due process nor giving those arrested the right to representation. They claim the crews are breaking international law and are part of a shadow fleet, so does that mean the US is the end-all be-all of policing international trade?
We must not let this distract us from the real issues. We must push back again those who think they are above the law. No one is above the law and we all deserve justice with due process.

If you remember Gulf War II, you remember that the US military needed a whole year to move materiel and personnel around in preparation for invading Iraq.
You will notice that no such preparation happened prior to starting a war with Iran.
Trump literally thought he could attack a few locations, then Iran would beg for a ceasefire.
But Iran learned the hard way that if you negotiate a ceasefire with the US or Israel, those deals are not made in good faith.

YANWEN2016 2026/03/03 美国打击伊朗的主要目的不是为了摧毁其政权
🇲🇲（美联社）美国总统唐纳德·特朗普表示，以色列和美国周一对伊朗进行了猛烈打击，这场行动可能会持续数周。鉴于冲突短期内没有缓解迹象，特朗普表示行动可能持续四到五周，但他已准备好“远远超过这个时间”。特朗普说：“这是我们最后、最好的机会——我们现在正在做的事——消除这个病态且阴险政权带来的不可容忍威胁。”他还指出，美军决心摧毁伊朗的导弹能力，消灭其海军，阻止其获得核武器，并确保其无法继续支持像黎巴嫩真主党这样的盟友组织。美军称，B-2隐形轰炸机用2000磅炸弹袭击了伊朗的弹道导弹设施。美国军方周一表示，已在阿曼湾击沉了11艘伊朗军舰。特朗普前一天声称伊朗海军总部“大部分被摧毁”。国防部长皮特·赫格塞斯周一表示，美国并未在伊朗进行国家建设，且有明确的使命。赫格塞斯说：“这不是伊拉克，这不是无尽的。”在宣布最初打击时，美国总统唐纳德·特朗普曾提到了这一点、并敦促伊朗人“接管”他们的政府。但目前尚无此类起义的迹象，因为伊朗人“不知道该为消灭压迫我们的人感到高兴，还是面对美国和以色列针对国家与利益的战争以及正在发生的恐怖行为保持沉默”。因此，特朗普也表示愿意与伊朗新领导层对话，该领导层将很快产生。

Late autumn in the woods can surprise you. You are walking though a forest of faded colors, many of the leaves already on the ground. Suddenly the sun bursts through the trees at just the right angle and the magic is back.
