Hey there, how's everybody? Well I hope. It's been a while since I was able to drop in and visit, my computer(s) went belly up and only one was salvageable (don't know for how long), but I thought I'd visit while I can, surfing at the Library just isn't the same as on your own comp....Let's see, well, Todd, my hubby had a stroke, lost speech and word recognition for awhile, but we're storing everything in a new part of the brain so he's doing well. I've been relearning to paint in oils and acrylics for a gallery in Aspen. Been doing handpainted italian tile work for a friend of my sister, for the kitchen, and just got Bryce installed and working again on this comp.
I hope to spend a litle more time here, as my painting allows, I'll post some of my work later...tell me what's happening here in the forum and with Bryce...

Hey Zhann!
Disturbing news about your hubby but glad all is getting better. Just this day I was searching the forum for an old tut by you about moving the camera around inside a volumetric sphere for abstracts. I could not find it. I must have been thinking of someone else.
As for me, I'm just getting older but no more skilled. AS drops in occasionally also. It is nice to hear from you masters. Looking forward to the art posts.

Wow...it has been a while...guess you know Bryster has moved up to head honcho and my voluntary help here has turned into a commitment...after all Bryce was the 2nd software I bought so it's only right. Bryce Gallery/Forum is still the most civilized spot on Rendo that gets any traffic...the comps are rolling along nicely and Bryster has spiffed up something, new for you maybe, the Bryce Sub-Community...to the right off the drop down menu labeled Sub-Communities...check it out if you haven't. Hope to see you in the comp and hey...why not shoot some digital photos of your painting work and load it into the 2D gallery...I'd really difg to see your work that keeps you away from Bryce...LOL...really tho...we all would..thanks for popping in...do come again, heh heh heh.. ...

Well I know I really didn't have anything with you popping back in, but just ask Quest. Just a few days ago I was talking to him about how long it had been since we had heard anything from you on the forum. And presto! here you are.
Welcome back and I do hope that life is on the upswing for you and Todd.
Hugs

Oh, this is really something! Ang25 and I was just wondering about you and others over the weekend and wouldn’t you know it…here you are. Sorry to hear about Todd’s misfortune tho, but glad to hear he’s managing. Gosh…yes, please post your work here. I for one would really like to see it and it’s nice seeing you about here again. My prayers go out to you and hubby.

Well me? I've settled into a new job nowhere to go but up or out and I'm thinking hard about up.
not really doing much artistically - This job takes it's toll and I have a lot to learn.
It's really good to hear from you - sorry to hear that Todd had a stroke but I'm glad he's doing well now !!
As Bobby says it would be good to see some of your work.
Take care,
-TJ

So glad to hear from you, and that Todd is improving. Good to know that you are still wielding a brush, would really love to see what your brush is painting.
We still get people wanting to make foam and waves - and they love your tut on "The Summoning".

it's good to see you back.. though it's really sad about Todd. I'm glad he's getting better..it must be so tough on you. You have been having a spate of tough times.. I guess it just makes you stronger and more wiser. Someone who needs looking after has an angel in them, and the person who looks after them is doubly blessed...
It will be lovely seeing your paintings.. please put up pix of them up here.. and some of your bryce work too..now that you back..
cheers

Nice to see you back, Jan! Please pass on our best wishes for a complete recovery to your Hubby. We'd love to see what you've been up to over that the last...er.....omg! How long as it been?
Welcome back though and don't go away for so long again!

Great to have you back in the fold! Hope everything stays well with you and your husband. To say you've been through the mill is quite an understatement!!!!
