Announcement and a New Challenge 72 - Pear on a Branch



Thank you so much for your continued support and patience, especially during the last few months, when on the surface it seemed as if I have disappeared.

Nothing could be further from the truth. 

Instead I was working harder on our PADT community than ever before, and I decided to invest all the time I could find in something new and exciting for our PADT community.

During the last 8 years, I have been personally posting each painting or drawing you kindly provided and made sure I timely respond to each email or inquiry. And I enjoyed every moment of it.

As our community grew bigger, I started to realize that we had come to the limits of what the blogspot technology allowed. I started feeling that  PADT needs a new home which would allow us to freely grow and be the best our community could possibly be.

Impressed and driven by your incredible encouragement and support, I partnered with a few "smart IT people" and I am so excited to share with you what we came up with.

============================== 

Announcement !!!


**** A new www.PaintAndDrawTogether.com blog web site for our PADT community and challenges, where each artist would be able to post his own picture as a response to the challenge. And everybody would be able to comment and reply to all posts and challenges, the same way as we did it before. There is so much more we can and would do in our new home, which technically we were not able in the old one. And this is only a start.

**** In addition to that I have started a YouTube channel, in which I would post the new challenge (every six weeks) and also demonstrate how I did it. Hopefully this will help everybody, and be more fun to watch and follow.

And now I NEED YOUR HELP and FAVOR FROM YOU

Could you PLEASE HELP in making sure we have a smooth and painless transition from our current blog to our new www.paintanddrawtogether.com web site?

How?


You will receive a confirmation email right away, and will be asked to click on the link in the email and confirm that you are really the owner of the used email address.

That way your account is becoming active and you can use it right away to post your pictures.

If you have any problem registering please send a message to paintanddrawtogether@gmail.com email address and explain the issue. We will do our best to help.
  •   For the period of three months, for already existing PADT members, I would manually maintain the old blog and make sure both old and new are in sync.
  •  Then starting From November 2018, our new web site will be the only channel to post and communicate among PADT community members.
  • The current blog will not be deleted - all your existing posts and comments on the current blog will continue to be preserved even after we switch over to the new paintanddrawtogether.com website.
Personally, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your tremendous support during all those years, and thank you  in advance for your help in having a smooth transition to our new PADT home.

 About the challenge

The image for this challenge will also be posted on our www.paintanddrawtogether.com blog website.

Everybody is invited to join in as a free PADT member. Everybody is invited to paint or draw the challenge, and post the image of the finished artwork within the next 6 weeks. And everybody is invited to comment on the posts or comments from other PADT members, and simply have fun and enjoy having a nice, uplifting and encouraging conversation.

I would really love to see us artists talking to each other, learning, growing, and having fun together.

And hopefully our new www.paintanddrawtogether.com website will grow and be the PADT artists' ambassador, promoter and a great friend.

I also made a short YouTube video supporting this challenge, including a short preview of how I did it. I hope you like it. The link can be found below.


In this composition, since the light source is at the top left, all shadows are positioned on the opposite side from the light source. In this case on the right side from the object. Please observe and pay attention to those shadows, they will be your best friend in creating a convincing image, where objects are related to each other, and together they sing the same voice, and tell the same story.

To participate in this challenge, please join in to www.paintanddrawtogether.com blog website and create a new post as a response to the current challenge, the latest by June 13, 2018. After that we will be having a new challenge.

Happy drawing and painting!

Your website is the masterpiece! I am pleased that a great new approach has emerged on the new site. It is very rich, beautiful, aesthetic. I'm still friends with her, I'm translating because I can not speak English. I like the refrain image and the motivational video. Thanks for this opportunity.

My husband left me and my children for over 6 months, all hope was lost. I thought I would never meet my husband again because he blocked me on all the social networks I could use to reach him. This left me sad and heartbroken until I met Dr. Dawn. Now, I explained everything to her and she promised me that everything would be fine in 3 days, to my surprise, my husband called and started begging 3 days after the spell, now my husband is back home and he treat's me very well and we live happily together now, contact her for help:
*if you want to your loved ones.
*if you want to get pregnant.
*if you want to cure any sickness.
*if you want a spiritual power.
*If you want to stop miscarriage.

I want someone here suffering from any disease to heal from my story after Hiv disease for the last 3 years and having hard to eat and cough are nightmares,especially the first year. At this stage, the immune system is severely weakened, and the risk of contracting opportunistic infections is much greater. However, not everyone with HIV will go on to develop AIDS. The earlier you receive treatment, the better your outcome will be.I started taking ARV to avoid early death but I had faith in God that i would be healed someday.As a Hiv patient we are advise to be taking antiretroviral treatments to reduce our chance of transmitting the virus to others , few weeks ago i came on search on the internet if i could get any information on Hiv treatment with herbal medicine, on my search i saw a testimony of someone who has been healed from Hiv her name was Achima Abelard and other Herpes Virus patient Tasha Moore also giving testimony about this same man,Called Dr Itua Herbal treatment.I was moved by the testimony and i contacted him by his Email.drituaherbalcenter@gmail.com/ www.drituaherbalcenter.com. We chatted and he send me a bottle of herbal medicine I drank it as he instructed me to.After drinking it he ask me to go for a test that how i ended my suffering life of Hiv patent,I'm cured and free of Arv Pills.I'm forever grateful to him Doctor Itua Herbal Treatment..He assured me he can cure the following disease..Hiv,Cancer,Herpes Virus,Hpv,Pile,Weak Erection,Lyme Disease,Epilepsy,Glaucoma.,Brain Tumor,psoriasis, Cataracts,Macular degeneration,Cardiovascular disease,Chronic Diarrhea,Lung disease.Enlarged prostate,Osteoporosis.Alzheimer's disease
