Does anyone from Ambient Design still read these?

[Expat]

Excellent first painting Expat and the texture really makes a difference. Children will love it. BTW more people will see this post if you make a new post of your own in Gallery - Art Gallery or WIP as you suggested. This way you will not be tacked on the end of another unrelated post. Just a gentle hint.

A member who has since retired from the forum used to keep it tidy removing spam and unwanted images. Let's see if he has passed on his hat.

I completely agree with you, normally a WIP should be in that thread. Hopefully I will soon have a real Illustration #1 to post there. The only advice I'm likely to get on this test is "Learn to use your brush." Anyway, thanks for the encouragement. Figured out how to delete an image in my profile, settings! One step at a time.
