Dear Patrice,

SO many of us here face the same "mom" stuff that you do. We really get it. For those who don't have the perspective, it is huge.

I hope that you will feel welcome, and that there are many painters who are where you are,

I don't understand why the Critique Subforums are off limits to guests. It seems to me that this would be an excellent way to judge whether we feel our work is of a standard by which we could then apply for membership and participate.

The Critique section is also a terrific way to learn from other established artists, i.e., what to look for and especially, how to 'see'.

Some members requested that the critiques area be password protected to keep out the search engines. They did not want their clients to potentially see their work being critiqued. Maybe there's a way for guests to be allowed in. I will check it out and report back. The password is right on the home page of the Forum.

Actually, the critique sections are open to all. All you need to do is type in critique. That's the password!

Thank you! I wasn't aware of that.
