In defense of my friend the other moderators- not that they need any.
I work at home, I have no children. I have a great deal more time. I only do portraits when a client shows up to pose, otherwise I do my own work.
I am not :
A: Jumping on planes to photograph a client.
B: Handling a full time or part-time job.
C: Driving kids to school, soccer games, doctors, dentists etc.
D: Cleaning my own house or mowing my lawn.
E: Dragging my kids around to look at colleges.
F: Poring over college scholarship and entrance forms
Again, I have more time.
I had to talk Linda Brandon out of doing endless private painting critiques sent to her by members. She is an extremely kind, talented and generous women, notwithstanding being a full time parent of teenagers, teaching and doing portrait commissions.
Many of us, perhaps in many people minds are lower tier painters, however we struggled and did not have the information given here gratis at the touch of a key pad.
Many people enjoy being entertained, because they are bored. They also want instant answers to why they can't paint- magic bullets. That is not what we are about.
