Too Much Time Surfing & Not Enough Time Painting....

Surfing is OK as long you are not suffering!

Alfred well put!

Cheryl, This is a great place to go when I want to take a break from creating ...sometimes informative and other times just funny...I think such a great community. I come here to see what everyone is talking about when I need to take a break...since I don't have much to say for the most part I don't get sucked in to deep. I think of it as entertainment but not a place to help sell my art. I guess like Alfred said if you are not suffering....

I'm at work, not much work to do, that is why I'm on here so much. I could stand to spend less time on the internet while at home though.

Most definitely went through that when I first started on FAA.......now I limit my time here.....More making art and less talking about it.

I go in spurts here...sometimes I'm on and involved on the forum quite a bit and then I disappear for a month or so and get back to business!

Well, I have this painting I'm supposed to do for a birthday thing. I can't seem to stop running my mouth (well, not mouth, that would be disgusting...keyboard fingers?) on here, though.

Yes, I think we have all been there. I'd rather waste time here than Facebook though, at least here the time wasted is still art related, for the most part lol.

I find I cannot paint at night, the colours are never as I want them. So that's the time I use the internet.

I poke around on here after I upload work and find many of the discussions productive and informative unlike Facebook where it used to be like a daily highschool reunion! Ha ha!

I have to take a break every hour or so or my back and legs start throbbing, not to mention my hands! Old age! I return from my short 10 minute walk and play on the computer for a few then it's back to work. This is my routine and it works well for me. You can't just sit and paint for eight hours straight, or I can't anymore. Too weathered!

Andy, if I couldn't paint at night I wouldn't be able to paint much at all, especially during the winter.

I know David, in winter with the short days and family commitments I find it hard to find any quality time for art.
I used to paint at night, but since I have changed house I find that the light is not the same and I find that discouraging.
