Nice to have you here!

The variety of work you've posted is wonderful, and I can't say I prefer any one to another! It all looks fresh and lively, and has a strong "signature" of style.

Welcome.

Welcome, Flladi!
I like your charcoal self-portrait very much--very well achieved sense of form.
Your work is obviously evolving. Looking forward to seeing more soon.

Fladdi, welcome! All of these works are impressive. I love the charcoal and the last work in progress. I'll look forward to seeing more.

Thank you so much, Chris, Carlos, Heidi, Marvin, and Christi!
I appreciate your welcome and feedback! It means a lot!

Since I am still new at the forum and haven't done my homework very well, could anyone of you tell me where can one display a new work. Start a new thread? Add to an existing one? Thank you!

Marvin, I still need to get a Mahl stick support device. Can I get one when I see you back in the Fall?

All the threads in the Forum work the same as this one (some few exceptions -- the demo threads don't permit posted responses). Click on the section in which you wish to post -- say, "Oil Critiques" -- and then click "New Topic." Give your new topic (that is, new thread) a descriptive title in the window for that, and then type in the body of the post in the next window, and click "Manage Attachments" to post any images, same as in this thread, using the "Browse" and then "Upload" sequence. You'll have to be mindful of the file type requirements and size limits, specified in the window for managing attachments. Many failed uploads are due to oversized image files. Run your images through software (such as Photoshop) that can resize them to the 400 pixels wide and 600 pixels high limits. If your image is within those limits but still won't post, it may be a file compression issue -- contact a moderator to work it out.

To add to a thread, just go to any post and click "Post Reply." If you wish to respond to a particular post in that thread, click "Quote," in which case the post to which you're responding will be copied and reposted as part of your new entry. (Sometimes you don't wish to quote an entire post, but only a part of it -- as I've done with yours, above -- but that's a bit of "html markup" housekeeping that can wait.)

In any event, any time you're stuck, just email or send a private message ("PM" -- click on the moderator's name anywhere in the Forum and select that option from the menu that appears) to the moderator of the section in question.
