First post from a new person and it's a link to an external site. No "Hello", nothing about you. It reeks of spam An introduction, please, before we go looking.

I was trying to share something with all the artists_my process step by step, but if you think my blog is spam, then, perhaps I do not belong here...

I think it would have been better to have shown some of your work, and introduced it rather than just placing the link. As to belonging here all artists are welcome and it’s always good to have new people. We have recently had a lot of links to site that  are games or sales and nothing to do with painting. I think Alan did what I would have done if I had seen the post first and assumed it was spam as it had no other information. Can I suggest that you post a couple of your painting and then offer the link, that way people will know if the want to look your work up further.

Dominique has actually posted some rather good work, so I think some crossed wires here!  Dominique, don’t abandon us. I had already commented on one of your paintings.  We are very wary of links in comments which lead to other sites, and there are numerous such links posted here Containing adverts for all sorts of things, mostly non art related.  Keep posting on the gallery.

Crossed wires for sure, so I agree, stick with us and continue posting your excellent work on the gallery. Perhaps the original post would have been better in the blog category, and an introduction about yourself on the forum would have perhaps been the way to go. However, all that is behind us so welcome to the site.
