I just hate art competitions and I'd no more enter one than sit in an alligator infested creek to paint! ~wink~<BR/><BR/>We don't have to worry about the alligators here in UK, but then we rarely get weather that is warm enough to allow us to sit in the middle of a stream. We just do what we can is the approach I think. <BR/><BR/>I added your URL to my own blog. I can't promise many visitors for you, because they come to my blog only infrequently. But at least it is there.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for the inspiration you have rekindled in me, for acrylics. I shall be a regular visitor to your sit e and your blog. Oh... and I really must use the tubes of acrylic I have before they dry out! <BR/><BR/>Happy Painting Roger. <BR/>Regards JohnJohnhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12298787782209662566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30250385.post-90211950190435524532008-10-30T17:08:00.000-04:002008-10-30T17:08:00.000-04:00THANK YOU ROGER!!!! I just discovered your blog though I've been enjoying your newsletters for quite a while and I have also watched and enjoyed several of your videos. Anyway, all my career (I'm 67) I've been a lone voice saying the same thing you've said about the negative impact competition has on artists. I will not enter competitions nor will I judge them. You cannot imagine the glee I felt when I read your August 17 entry. BRAVO.Dianne Mizehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06290943648650327077noreply@blogger.com
