I'm not a bellyacher. I've seen the threads about top 20 issues. I'm not seeking pats on the back . I want only to get constructive criticism to improve. I've had no formal or informal art training, but I love to create and try to discover what creativity juice I may have. After about 8 months of Brycing and looking at work on this site I got the nerve up to post something. Danged if I didn't get a couple "excellents" and from some names I've personnaly admired their work. A month later I posted a small ditty again and only got 4 viewings before I deleted the post. Again I'm not a vanity freak, I just want to get honest opinions not votes so I can improve. Any input on what makes someone at least look at the post. Or is it just paying the dues that everyone goes thru?
