• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • 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.

"Yes, well with the oppressiveness from the burnt sienna spliced over the frolicsome lemon, I accentuated the incandescence of an emotional affair and combined it with the enslavement from the tyranny of a selfish partner, as my expressive virtuoso rained down upon this canvas like an impassioned monsoon."

^ No one actually said that, I just made it up. But I think you know the sort of people I mean.

:tearsofjoy: LOL I read this at work earlier today and was laughing so hard. Got some weird looks from coworkers. I agree with you about the pretentiousness potential of modern art.

The painting above was done with oils. But to be honest, with high quality acrylics the difference between an oil painting and an acrylic painting is slight.

You are brave for using oils. I can never get them to work for me. I'm probably too used to dry media, though.

Yeah, I can be quite the character at times... Lol. I have my moments.

Oils are easy enough, you just need to fire in confidently and use stiff paint. If it's thin and syrupy you'll be sloshing around in mud.
