Hi! Welcome back!

'Hope to see more of your art here soon...

By the way... Just when I thought that I had got the forum skin problems sorted, I found that I could not post a comment here. I just switched skins from the IPS Beyond one and I am currently using "Clients Green..."

Oh well. One day artfreaks.com will get famous and I'll be able to afford a whole team of software developers... Maybe?!! Well, we can all live in hope! For the mean-time, if any member finds that a certain feature is not working as it should, it is always worth trying a quick switch of skins. (When you are logged-in, there is a little drop-down menu at the bottom left-hand side of the main forum pages. Currently, you can choose from four different skins.)

Cross as many lines as you like!

Who sets these lines anyway?

???

Forgive my ignorance...

Please tell me something about this Baha'i faith...

I am only intrigued. Not planning to convert. I have my own religion at it is good only for myself...

Thanks for setting up your own blog at artfreaks.com

I'm looking forward to seeing some more of your poetry in here.

Keep it coming!

Hi! I've been away for a bit. Stuck out at sea without Internet... There'll be more of that over Christmas and the New Year, unfortunately.

Good luck, but don't give up.

Hi! Thanks for your comments. I must admit, I also prefer "Tussinee - One (The Manic-Depressive Art Version!)" to

"Tussinee - Two (The 4th Attempt!!)"

I think version "Two" is a little bit scary!!

Yeah... It's a difficult one, that - trying to paint when you are really not in the mood... When I am on leave from my job as a seaman, I tend to spend a lot of time sitting at my computers, working on websites and stuff. (I usually have two computers on the go; both using different networks, in order to be able to cope with slow and unreliable connections in the Philippines.) Anyway, sometimes I spend too much time at my computers and it wears me down. So then I take to doing a bit of painting in order to relax myself. Sometimes I find the creative process a wonderful tonic. Other times I just can't get my self in the mood and I end-up wasting a lot of expensive art materials...

This can be a real dilemma... I want to paint, in order to get myself back into good spirits - but I CAN'T paint because I am feeling down!???!!

I guess I should try some form of exercise or doing something totally different, in order to get me back into the right mood for painting?

I might give that one a try, next time I run up against a brick wall!
