Ballycastle A DVD telling the story of Stuart Shils painting in Ballycastle Ireland.
As I have mentioned before I’ve been thinking of ways to help the Painting Perception’s forum grow into a useful community for painters where people can start and discuss topics on their own, share knowledge, work, events, links, videos and ask questions. The forum is small and growing but already shows a lively exchange of artwork, ideas and insights. Obviously the more people are able to contribute the more valuable the forum becomes. With this in mine I decided to offer this DVD about Stuart Shils painting in Ballycastle. I will make a random drawing this coming Sunday from all the people who have joined the forum (free) and will mail the DVD to the winner.

I’d like to join the forum. How do I do it??
Hi Allison,
Just click on the menu on the top where it says forum – and go to where it says my page or if there is menu item somewhere where it says join. Or just click on the discussion board and try to post something and it should ask you if you want to join and just say yes. You only need to provide an email address, the rest of the questions are optional. Sorry if this isn’t more exact – as I’m already a member the screen changes and no longer has “Join button” and I forget exactly what it said. I’ll try to look at it from another computer when my wife gets home and see if I can outline more exactly what you need to do so this can help anyone else as well.
If anyone needs help on how it all works I’ll be glad to assist anyway I can.
Allison (and anyone else wanting info on the process of joining the forum) sorry to take so long.
Once you click on the Forum menu tab (next to the Home) you go to the forum top page – there is a box in the upper right hand corner that says Welcome to Painting Perceptions – Sign Up or Sign in… from there just follow the instructions. The only thing you’ll need to provide is a working email address – the other stuff is optional, just a way for people to get to know more about you.
Once you sign up you can post images of your work, start a conversation of a topic of your choosing or join in an ongoing discussion. One of the nice things about forums is its often casual nature – but you never know how some discussion might start off with something goofy and then evolve into something profoundly important and vice-versa – or just stay goofy and that’s that.
