Quote - ...I would love to see the critique forum used more and would post both my own work there, and readily comment on others.I think to critique someone's work well is one of the most valuable things you can do for another artist. ...

Bravo! Good ON you! Couldn't agree with you more. My most recent addition to the gallery was very effectively critiqued by one of the most incredible artists in my acquaintance. No, I won't mention her name, because I don't want to hurt feelings, but she gave me not only her perspective but also a very sound "why" for that perspective. Very compelling, very, very helpful. I am deeply indebted to her for her honesty and for sharing her artistic abilities.
