Hi Derek, Hi
Greg!….glad you made it back Greg. Don’t envy the cleaning that much..look forward to when you can paint again!
still pretty much painting a lot here, still locked down, and of course now riots every night!

Becca's Fine ArtJune 15, 2020 at 6:44 am #1298572Becca, you are still locked down? We are not now and today was the day the government removed all other little restrictions. But we still keep cautious in public places and wash and desinfect hands just to be sure. Oh, how can there be riots if you have lock down there?
Grotius, this channel worries me too although I’m thinking of taking a little summer break from forums and social media just to ‘charge batteries’ and to find my imagination again to paint. Do you still plan to go to Plein Air Easton?
June 15, 2020 at 7:11 am #1298581Yes, still locked down…nothing is open here yet, still social distancing and stay in place orders…that is part of what is fueling the riots..they have nothing else to do, are tired of being home and of course the social issues of recent no doubt fuelled by social media…they are out through the middle of the night esp…lots of explosions, fires, shouting and sirens…right in my neighbourhood…I am sympathetic to the racial issues, but not the destruction…many many people who have no reason to be harmed have been. It is disheartening. And I think the violence will largely hurt the cause more than help.
as for the lockdown, will likely not ease for another month…at least
seems many are thinking of social media breaks right now…think there has been social media overload for many with the situation of late.

Becca's Fine ArtJune 24, 2020 at 10:26 am #1302635The forums seem pretty dead now. Very few new posts. I had trouble getting logged in because I still had an old email address in my profile. It literally to me three weeks of dealing with customer support to get my email changed so I could reset my password. If others had that issue, some may have given up.

Becca's Fine ArtJuly 1, 2020 at 10:45 am #1306165Yep, not the same. I don’t check it as often now. I find it kind of hard to read. Something about the font, layout, and background.
Edit: Also, I’m still unable to PM stapeliad (Jessica). (I want to ask her to sticky my oil-from-life thread for July.) I know others have successfully PMd her, but the site always tells me that stapeliad is an invalid user name. Jessica, if you happen to see this, could you PM me so that I could use “reply” to communicate in the future?

My website and blog: https://www.geoffwatsonart.com/July 1, 2020 at 12:05 pm #1306191Just to let you know Geoff,. I can PM Jess, but didn’t bother this time for the WOYE thread…I never heard from her last time and by now, I think she knows the routine

My website and blog: https://www.geoffwatsonart.com/July 8, 2020 at 7:03 am #1309405Grotius, I haven’t been painting plein air or other stuff from life lately so I don’t have anything new to post to the ‘oil-from-life’ thread. I’m recovering slowly from a knee injury.
Becca, do you like this new WC? I find it difficult to navigate and find things.

July 15, 2020 at 5:36 am #1312522I have never gotten a new PM on this new site.
I’m wondering if the problem is because my username is actually stapeliad Moderator oils, pastels, plein air now which is beyond stupid but there is no more staff designation field in profiles.
