Hi Richard! Today I tried to use Facebook with this website but when I used the link I got a message saying I couldn't because this website is " unsecured" . I think it would be nice to use this feature. Thanks! Stay safe, stay well!

Question:  I purchased a workshop on an Italian village scene and now do not know how to access it. 

Any help?

Thanks

Hi Richard, I just received my copy of the International Artist Magazine and was so excited to see my painting "At the Beach" in this issue. What an opportunity you offer us when you critique our work. I thank you again for your gentle encouraging critique.

Thank you Richard. Yes always exciting to sell something you work so hard on and actually get to meet the person who bought it. When the gallery sells you never meet the person.

Hi Richard.  Thank you for taking the time to leave me such a nice comment on my painting, The Fall Stream.  It means a lot to me that  you would do this.  Roena

Hi Richard,  

You probably already know all this, but I got this very good article on copyright free photos in my in-box from Art Tutor.  Here is the link:  

https://www.arttutor.com/blog/201611/where-find-legally-free-reference-photos-your-art-part-2-2?mc_cid=f04a78ccc9&mc_eid=8773751e4f

I don't know how to share it on this website but I think lots of the members would be interested.  

Cheers,

Tammy
