[Aquanet] Call for September critique

[Annette Compton]

As the August critique-ee (is there such a word in English!) I  
encourage anyone to step forward. I posted my painting for the first  
time this month with Aquanet and got five or six very intelligent and  
supportive comments about it—a wonderful experience.

I would enjoy hearing from more people too—August must be a quiet  
month, or perhaps I left most of the list speechless? HAH! Would that  
it were true! Having posted a painting for the monthly critique, it  
brings home the importance of feedback and how much we enjoy the  
attention, appreciate the fact someone has actually looked at our  
work and offered their experience of seeing it. Thank you to the  
silent ones as well who looked—I am grateful I had the courage to put  
one up and again encourage others to clamor to Raymond to be "first"  
for September.

I'm in the middle of an oil commission for a portrait of two gorgeous  
children—a daunting task at best! And I'm doing some glazing again  
with oils in the classical style, fat over lean and warm over cool  
layers. The years of watercolor pay off when I take a detour back  
into the rich world of oils.

Thank you, Raymond for continuing to shepherd this world-wide herd of  
creative-types. I will post a waterfall today as a last minute August  
entry and look forward to the September challenge.
