  • 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

My friend David painted this mural on a wall. Its about 4 feet by 8 feet in size and he has never shown it to anyone.
He did it with Oils and used techniques I have no idea about. He has been very shy about his talent.

Could you please tell me what you think so that I can tell him how good he is? All comments would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I paint in arcylics, oils(sometimes), pastels, and other implements. I have done some nice things.
The header was not a bad thing, so I am not sure why it says that. I won't use the abbrev. again because for some reason that happens, but I edited to let you know that I am shocked it says that and didn't meaningfully do anything vulgar or tasteless .. especially to a post like this. Sorry this happened people.


I do graphics too. So, I do these things and my Aunt is an Artist. So, I am going to really tell you what I think here.

I think this person has to get to work, because they are gifted. That isn't something just anyone can do. They have a true ability, eye for placement, contrast, they can do the techniques perfectly and are inspired. All this adds up to a Freda Kahlo, Michaelangelo, and Monet. They all had passion and were inspired and made their own kind of art from what they pull from inside themselves and brought out to canvas.

Your friend is as talented in their own right. They need to believe in themselves and nuture they gift and let it soar, and great things will come, that piece you showed us? It should be in a Gallery, it is that good. I am not trying to fill your head, or theirs. I would have just been kind in a few nice words, but I would not have gone on in detail like this, had I truly not had some real sense this person was something special.

no need to apologize for the title. I did not even look at the header...I went straight to your great comments.

Thanks again y'all. I really appreciate it!
