I would LOVE to have a forum for painters and other artists! I often do feel like I'm ambushing a thread or forum when I post my oil painting images. It would be great to have a dedicated space where we can share our paintings, sculptures, prints, and other works with glee and abandon! I like the suggestion above for the "Fine Arts and Artists Forum" as a name for the forum.

Many of you may have already seen the image below as I have posted it a few times elsewhere, but it is my oil painting, "The Healer's Leaves," 4 x 6 ft, using a photo from GardenWife on DG from whom I gained permission for use of her photo. The painting sold at a fundraiser event back in March for $1500 (all proceeds to the cause). You may recognize the plant in the painting as Castor Oil Plant (Ricinus communis). You can see GardenWife's original photo at the Plant Files page for Castor Oil Plant.
