Thanks for reminding everyone about this Vivien. I have also had upset members who never receive a thank you for their comments and have complained that certain folk are just not commenting at all but expecting feedback on their own works. It is very important that we work together on this forum. There are wonderful artists here who are generous with their feedback and we are lucky to have such a friendly and caring bunch of people on our forum. Let’s give as well as take!

Good post Viv, thank you :thumbsup:

Thanks for posting this. I fully agree. A great and important reminder for us all.

Thanks for posting this, I agree 100%.
Regards,
Greg.

Good thread. I have to admit to not commenting enough on the work of others. When something really strikes me I do try to comment, but certainly not often enough.
However, I often feel unqualified to comment. I suspect others may feel the same? When looking at someones work, I may think “that should be lighter or darker, or a different color, or”….but I certainly don’t feel qualified to say so. As an occasional painter – sometimes I might get one done in a year..sometimes it takes longer – my comments may not have much value in evaluating a painting. When I post a painting I am often in need of help with something I can’t figure out. Thanks to those who have posted on those and offered suggestions. They have been very helpful. Wish I could do the same for others.
With that said, your point about supporting others on this forum is a good one. Will try to do better.
