Hi Ethel...you do have a lot of smiles in your armoury...smile. I am notified by email that I have an anser in AB, but once I activate the link and go into AB, I am able to navigate throughout the messages, whether one by one or can jump down to bottom of page and hit link for next page...and I can control the volume of the voice too. Okay Ethel, go ahead and put the site where you feel it deserves it...if you think it does; always the self-disparagement and self-criticism...smile. Many Thanks to Lofty, Tisha and weeal for your lovely words and I hope Velvetee gets a look in too. I am very humbled by all your answers and I rate them all as Excellent. Ta Muchly and I hope that both Tisha and Lofty start creating again.
Hello Woodelf.
What a privilege to see your paintings. My favourite is 'Lonely Water', closely followed by 'First Snow'. And I love the wall in 'By the Wayside', we have walls like that near to where I live. When my husband gets home, I shall show him your paintings to encourage him, as he paints in water-colour, mostly birds and flowers, but he never thinks his paintings are good enough, even though he did once win first prize with a painting of a lion's head. Smile. He hasn't painted for a while now, so I hope that seeing your paintings will fire up his enthusiasm again. Thank you so much for providing Ethel with the link. I have so enjoyed the text as well. Keep up the good work. I hope to see some more of your paintings in the future. Best Wishes. Schutzengel.

And Good Afternoon to you Ethel...smile! - oh yeah, I forgot to ask, if you do put my site info elsewhere, how would I read any comments?...i'm not too sure about this "stream" thingy, all I do at moment is read each message under "my questions" - not that it matters, I just hope it gives people pleasure.
Thanks Very Much Nightmare...never written to a nightmare before...smile I do get help these days with the colour mixing, but I must admit that Stoney Road was all my own work, so I must have done summat right and besides that stoney road did and hopefully still does exist in reality, but it always does in my memory. I rate your answer as Excellent, but do you want me to do the actual rating bit...I forgot to ask all the other very kind bods the same question or does my saying so be okay for you? Ta Muchly Again.
Ethel posted this yesterday in our Arts Section:
"Whilst chatting about insurance, the poster kindly posted a link to his website, which has a gallery of his paintings and a video showing how he does it - Woodelf is completely blind. I was very moved by the whole thing and would like more answerbankers to see it:
http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/theartsight/
For those interested, this is the original post:
http://www.theanswerbank.co.uk/Insurance/Quest ion704817.html
He shows that where there is a will, there is a way."
So far this reply has been added
From RoaldoM.
"Ethel. Thanks for the link. I saw the post the other day and then lost touch with it so very grateful for you to bring it back to my attention. I think 'The Echo' is excellent and reminds me of of Dali. I went to the permanent Dali exhibition in Spain a couple of years ago and this is very reminiscent of his works."
I hope Ethel comes along here and helps with how you can look at other questions and links on this site.
Best wishes.

Hmmmm.
I know you are having problems opening links, but this is thread I started under Arts & Literature - Arts. It is called 'Answerbanks own artist' but has only one reply so far.

I shall post my opening post and the reply here, now:

Woodelf, hope you are able to make sense of that

You're welcome woodelf. That did make me smile!
The reason your work & sentiments are inspirational to me, is because it shows you can overcome most obstacles in life, if you try.
Also, my husband has always been artistic & taught our two daughters his techniques from a very young age. This helped them remendiously with their school & college work. Both going on to be succesful in their field.
The four of us still enjoy drawing, creating & writing, etc., as do our four Grandchildren.

Nightmare, aye lad, I'm from up t'North, Easingwold so I'm told, then when still young moved to Marple in Cheshire...don't boo, it's still up North sithee. Yes Ethel, I managed to figure all that out, but it's still a shame I couldn't even use the internal AB link to go to the Arts section so Many Thanks RoaldoM...but I didn't know Dali painted that badly...another huge smile from Ethel no doubt. The Echo was my first painting since blind...hope I've come on since then...yes I know I have, so I'm not looking for accolades and behave yourselves Lofty and Nightmare...it's only paint and plasticine!...well, I suppose a bit more to it than that though and just for Nightmare instead of didn't and couldn't, I should have said didner and cudner and oh yeah, dunner for don't...smile.
