DeeZ : Welcome to my world :) I only review what I like and if I can't give a piece a 4 or higher, I skip it :) As I was raised by this rule: "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all." :)
December 7 at 12:52PM
hekartstudio : Agree with you whole-heartily. I just joined in October, 2010. A friend mentioned this site. Best thing about the site are the contructive reviews. Don't get this input from art leagues or camera clubs. I will stick to your rule. Sounds very sensible. Merry Christmas and always look foreward to a New year and all possibilities-HEK
December 20 at 1:20AM
Sandra c. valentini :
there has been so many works of art posted this week! i found this site two months ago. at first it was fun and exciting to see all the great reviews, and watch my ranking go up. now i have decided it takes to much time to promote your work. i don't care for reviewing for dollars. i will still post and review some but not hours as thats what it takes. i am an artist first. i'd rather spend my time painting. thanks everyone. love my work!
December 3 at 10:27AM
hekartstudio : I hear you and understand what you are saying. FAR is just another avenue to "Express Yourself". I'm retired and after all the household chores, I just want to sit down and create my ideas, be it with phots, WC, pastels or pen and ink. The key is to relax and enjoy-HEK

Sandra c. valentini :
thanksgiving was perfect, almost. after sll the guests left i decided to relax a little. i went to get my pj" and robe. i had some christmas decorations out . when i leaned forward i got poked in the eye with the metal end of a artifiscial tree branch. i thank god it was my bad eye. another corneal abrasion. this is what caused the blindness in my right eye. i couldn't believ this happened again. wwell i'm seeing the eye doctor every day and putting drops in every three hours.even with all this i'm working on a new painting.
