the way for me to learn best and I would certainly enjoy and learn from lots of
other watercolorists. I hope that we can start having more contribute

it.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>

<P>Hello to All,</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Many of us do not have a lot of knowledge to share about watercolor, but we
do enjoy reading what others have to share. I enjoy the list and would
like to see more attachments. Seeing a visual trains my eye to be more
discerning. Thanks to those who contribute in a constructive way.</P>

this list<BR><BR>Greetings, <BR>I just read Lorraine's plea not to end Aquanet
just because a minimum of messages have not been sent recently. I concur
with Lorraine. Like many of us, we are swamped with commissions, family,
and trying to survive these difficult times as a professional artist, as well
as a myriad other reasons for not having the time for sending artful
thoughts. I must confess that I am one of those subscribers who prefer
to observe. Yet, with my morning coffee to sustain me while I am reading
my e-mail before heading to my studio, I eagerly read from Painter's Keys, Wet
Canvas, Aquanet, and others in the field that give me a boost, and realizing
that there are friends in art out there that I have never met, held
conversations with them, but nevertheless I value their existence.
Raymond, thank you for your work for Aquanet...you are doing a great job. I
vote with Lorraine.<BR>Have a great painting day.<BR>David R.

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi all,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG>Please do not end
Aquanet</STRONG>. It is the only link that I have with other
watercolour enthousiasts in the world. I haven't been painting lately
because of a tragic death in our family but seing what has been painted by
others gives me hope and like a light a the end of the tunnel, it gives me
courage that I hope will translate in a painting soon. The
summer is also a very difficult period for me to paint since my
boy is at home so I don't have a lot of free time on my hands.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Aquanet has been useful in so many
ways. I have had critics from the list of one of my work that I
have kept as a reminder of what to do and not do in future paintings.
I have received recommendations on books for composition from many of you
also. You have been much help in my work and I wish that you continue
for ever!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you for all your help.</FONT></DIV>
