Calling Time

[kagemusha]

As some of you will know from the 'Markets and Commissions' section, I have decided to move away from figure painting. This has not been an easy decision for me but, with a lot of soul searching, I feel that I have to accept that my standards have dropped of late. With this in mind, I have decided to go back to my roots in airbrushing large scale pieces. I have enjoyed my time on Planet Figure immensely and, would like to thank all of you for making my stay so very enjoyable.
I have learned so very much from the members here. Had a lot of laughs and, made some good friends. Whilst no longer an active member, I hope you will accept me back as an interested guest.
My very best to you all.
Ron

As I said in my PM, hope it's just a sabbatical, and hope you don't become a stranger.
Whatever you do, I hope it gives you pleasure.
You'll be missed,
Carl.

Ron good luck with whatever and wherever your motivations take you.
Above all else thanks for your SBS on oil painting and "scrubbing" and the associated mental images of various furtive types lurking around the makeup sections of pound stores.

Best wishes.
Geoff

Many thanks for that Carl. It means a great deal to me mate.
Don't worry, you won't get rid of me that easily

Cheers

It's never an easy when for whatever reason you no longer get the buzz.
Good for you Ron for taking a hard look and making a shift that will bring back the mojo
When you drop by make sure you let us all have a look at what you're working on.
Cheers

Ron,

Hopefully its just a case of "see you later" rather than "goodbye".

As I said in the other thread mate, it'll be a poorer place without you here so hopefully you'll get back into it and we'll see some more of your work I definitely want to see the dragon head you talked about

Shadow warrior Ron,
In the true spirit of Bushido you cannot give up on the forum. The work that I have seen of yours on here still looks like your brushes are sharp as a katana. If eroding skills were a barometer I would have been out of the hobby years ago
Merry Christmas,
Bob
