Kim,
When my daughter was small she was crazy with horses. She wanted to go horse riding, and did so.
I remember a situation with one other little girl, at the school, riding a horse. Suddenly she asked; Tell me, who is actually deciding where the horse is going? She was sitting on top of it !
What I mean is that you know for your self if you painted that painting. If you cheated you will know. I know that you didn't and expect to see your paintings on future exhibitions.

Allan,
No, I did not cheat. I believe changes I have made from critiques here are so minor no one could question it. I am just planning on not taking that chance in the future.

It is my belief that whenever you submit a painting to a show you should list, on the entry form, the name of each and every person who commented on your painting. If you win, everyone's name should be credited on the award itself and all cash prizes should be equally split between all commentors. Anyone commenting more than once should be entitled to additional compensation. In the spirit of non equitable generosity I am hereby waiving any compensation for making this suggestion.

Marvin -
Have I mentioned how much I like your portrait of Sylvia? (cha-ching!)
That portrait of Mr. Fishbach is OK also, I suppose. (cha-ching!)
Oh! And the one of Eric - lovely! (cha-ching!)
I don't take personal checks, but a money order would be fine. That's Kimberly, K-I-M-B-E-R-L-Y.
I owe people here ...hmmm...with the award money I have won this year...approximately .24 cents each, but Sharon I owe $1.73.

Hi Kim,
I understand your preoccupation about the subject, but no matter how many suggestions you get here, you decide which ones are valuable and which ones aren

Hi Kim,
I think that you're confusing the solicitation of opinion with asking for actual advice. I would argue that advice is something that you pay for; therefore, advice from, say, a workshop teacher is "advice" and other comments would be "opinion". I think that everything on the Forum constitutes "opinion", not "advice". In any event you're not compelled to take any recommendations from anybody and in many cases taking somebody's opinion would make a painting worse, not better. No artist can live in a vacuum and do great work, and nobody should expect them to.
Just thinking out loud here... just my opinion.
