Emerge from the dog house - all forgiven! Out of interest, as you are a newcomer to the gallery, did you notice the POL directive about not posting more than 4 paintings at a time. I am not wagging my finger at you, but am interested whether this notice is displayed in a way that someone unfamiliar with the site would actually notice it.
It is just that most newcomers, if they get a bit of negative feedback about posting too many paintings at a time, don't seem to have seen the POL advice and I just wondered if we should ask POL to make it easier to see.
It would be better if the notice was obvious because jumping on newcomers is not what people want to do, but they do get fed up with some people posting their life's work in an hour or so.

Artist's and illustrators mag has just sent me an email trying to screw money out of me for their portfolio +. Their sales pitch is that you can show your work to 25000+ visitors; and I would put money on them mostly being artists, with no commission on sales, big deal. I have always found that the Disrealli Principle, ' If I want to read a book, I shall write one,' works with artists. You don't take your work to an Art Society to try and sell it.bestMick
