O
I have noticed that over the last months, participation in the forum has dwindled and I find this phenomena rather sad. As I read the reasons given by visitors why they are not signing up and the reasons given by the moderators why they refuse to comment, it leaves me wondering what has happened to this once bustling, friendly place where artists exchanged information and learned from each other.
Maybe it is time we find a common ground of appreciation and gratitude for knowledge offered and an understanding and tolerance for individualism, different ways of expression and different speeds of learning. After all, is it not fun to see how even portraiture has evolved into different styles? Exchange and change are factors that make art an evolving entity necessary to avoid a static existence!
I hope I don't have to start looking for the 'Salon des Refus
