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.
