Hi Sheri, what an interesting life you have. Welcome to the forum.

This is a terrific community and a wonderful resource, and you will find forums for just about every art and craft medium here, it’s worth exploring the full list of the forums.[/url] Read the posting rules at the top of the forums there may be restricted posting.

The links in the top line of my signature will help with the forum and how to resize and post your pictures. You can start uploading pictures on your third post.

When you get the uploader box and browse for your photos, make sure you select “All files” or you will not see your jpg files.

If you have a particular site problem, click on my name and send me a private message (pm).

As you are working in watercolors I suggest you check out the Watercolor Forum The links in my signature will take you to lots of watercolour demos, workshops, articles, videos and free online tutorials.

There are many talented and generous artists in the forum who will love to share your art.

Introduce yourself in the “Daily Wash” in the Palette Talk forum – they are a great bunch of folks.

I look forward to seeing some of your work in the Watercolor Gallery, or in the Watercolor Studio if you need advice. Technical questions are asked in the Learning Zone.

Thank you to Vicky (vmrs) for good help offer and getting me intrigued about miniatures.

Thank you Dianna (Talisman) for news about challenges and learning here. I also love SciFi, but hard scifi. I love Robert Aspirin who writes about fantasy in a very homestyle style, sort of kitchen table talk. Reminds me of Asimovs early robot novels.

Jon! Poor Jon, he has endured my bewildering wanderings. Thank you for great directions to begin with here at WC.

Thank you to Doug (Yorky) for showing me your wonderful links and how to upload images. I will learn my way here with your help and suggestion of the Watercolor Forum. I think my first stop will be the Daily Wash, as you suggested.

Thank you Greggo (Birdhs) to let me know the members here will help me. I need to see what abstract and contemporary art is, now. In my heyday, Warhols soupcans were outrageous. Who wouldda thunk it?

Lastly, but not the end of making friends, Tip O’ my hat to opainter- for great links and I will look at the reference images forum you suggested.

Thanks to all, and see you around. I am glad to be here…. living on a farm is ideal but I miss the companionship of creative souls.

Sheri I hope to see you in the Fantasy Sci-Fi forum, it’s a small but fun group.
I love Asimov and had the pleasure of a long chat with him long ago (1973).

I’m also in a rural area so this is my art group.
