  • 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

I have been painting for nearly 20 years now and love it. It brings relaxation for me but I have to be in the mood to do it and sometimes I get painter's block.
I wish I could post a painting on here but apparently I have not reached 100 posts yet.. got a ways to go.. :D

I draw charcoal portraits and was planning on venturing into painting... I pray for your painting block to be removed and that you will be inspired by the Holy Spirit to create a great painting.. In Jesus' Name, Amen

P.S. yeah, I know what you mean about a long way to go to get 100 posts....... I am almost there... but it was WORK!! LOL

I am a total newbie here so it will be awhile before I could post any art. I do pencil portraits... don't have the time yet to learn oil painting since I work a full time job and when I'm home I'm always working on a commission. I was looking for a Christian forum where I could find other artists... cuz its a VERY liberal world out there in the art business and on other art sites!! :doh:

Hey, nice to meet you truth!! Do you have a web site with some of your art on it? I created a web site if you want to look at it. It is www.PortraitsCreatedbyCindy.com. I am not as good as I would like to be, but that will take time I am sure. Be blessed!! Cindy

Hi Cindy, Yes I do have a website. I think I have to have more posts on here before I can post a website... can't remember so I'll play it safe. If you google Laura J. Smith my website will be right at the top of the list. ;)

Very nice website! I like your portraits. One of the problems I usually see with charcoal or graphite portraits are the darkest tones are just not dark enough and it really makes the piece look flat... there is not enough depth. So I really enjoy seeing the nice dark tones in your work. Wonderful!!

Laura

Thanks Laura, that is really nice to hear. I hope to one day venture out into using other types of media... but for now, I enjoy what I am doing. Thanks again!

P.S. I'd love to see some of your work :)

Blessings,

Nice to see other people going for the 100 post goal...it seems like it takes forever doesn't it?
