You can purchase one in person or over the phone. They recommend purchasing by the 14th since the return deadline is the 18th March.<BR/>http://tinyurl.com/32j7dbTina Mammoserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407199513409994699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-91735194835207695292008-03-06T08:17:00.000+00:002008-03-06T08:17:00.000+00:00I love this tall slim format, Katherine.

Let me get this straight - if you are fortunate enough to live in a large city with an artistic community or are able to rent in a group studio situation you are allowed to have peer critique of your work and progress that way as an artist. And as many many working artists do. You could even create the work within a class or mentor situation that you take as a professional artist who wants a different environment than the studio once in a while. It's okay as long as it isn't online?<BR/><BR/>But if you aren't so fortunate and perhaps live somewhere isolated you aren't allowed to find peer critique or support in online communities instead?<BR/><BR/>What century do these societies think we are living in? Do they think that artists live in bubbles offline?Tina Mammoserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18407199513409994699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-6133647440797194622008-03-05T19:15:00.000+00:002008-03-05T19:15:00.000+00:00Thanks Laura - it's always good to hear an externa...Thanks Laura - it's always good to hear an external perspective.<BR/><BR/>I knew you'd like that water. As soon as I saw it I thought of you and your water in Hawaii. The interesting bit is the two tone/colour thing he's got going on. <BR/><BR/>It also reminded me of David Hockney - or maybe I maybe I mean I wonder if it (or something like it) stimulated David Hockney when he was doing the swimming pool pics?Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-61474225308045490882008-03-05T17:21:00.000+00:002008-03-05T17:21:00.000+00:00Katherine, I agree with you 100%.

That rule-making group has, as they say, some control 'issues.' I'll bet that all of you dissenters will be successful in getting them to rescind some of these silly strictures.

Hopefully before the end of two months I'll be generating my very own 'japanese style' art!Making A Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509483023337008890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20645140.post-37903018558099171052008-03-05T16:44:00.000+00:002008-03-05T16:44:00.000+00:00The Koi drawing is spot on for your Japan study. ...The Koi drawing is spot on for your Japan study.

I also work in pastel and my pastels are paintings, but I don't know the correct terms for colored pencils. Anyway its a beauty!Deborah Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02242296435365350267noreply@blogger.com
