  • 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.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Everyone that sees my art says "you should be selling artwork". That was always a dream in the back of my mind but something is keeping me from persuing that dream. I'm not talking getting rich but maybe just showing paintings/drawings through an art club or whatever. If I sell it great if not that's OK. I think I have a fear of failure or whatever. Has anyone gone through this? How did you overcome it? I've done commercial art for a job but it's not the same with a deadline and endless changes. I have never showed my own personal art the way I want to do it on my terms - you know for the shear enjoyment of it. Does this make sense? Maybe it's so personal that to show it could leave it open to criticism - which is a good thing. So in the mean time I always find excuses not to start another drawing or contact an art club or whatever. Any ideas? Thanks for listening :wave:
