  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

I really like the road painting. Have you been doing these on location?
EDIT: looks like I caught you while you were still typing some details! Some apparently were done o location.

By the way, one of my daughters tried out the canvas pad at Hobby Lobby with acrylic in this case and really enjoyed it. Thanks for the review.

It works well for what she does, which is make cards. She can cut each sheet into several small paintings and then paste them on. It winds up being more affordable than the Strathmore cards (which we also like), and takes heavier washes.

I'm glad she liked the canvas. Isn't it a shock how thin it is. I bet you could put it in a home printer and make canvas prints. I just did these paintings past few days, obsessed with trying to get a grip on yupo. They were from photos i took last November on a trip to Nevada, Arizona and Utah. I'm having touble posting photos tonight. I"m getting error messages. I'm glad they showed up. Thanks again.

Yes, she said it was like painting on fabric. That is an interesting concept on the printing.

I like the blue shading, showing distance.
Yeah, it was hard to get the middle portion right. You have less saturation, but in this case darker shades. Hard to pull off. But the blue works pretty well to show haze and such.
