Just taking a brief moment out to thank someone for something on FAA. This list could take quite a while but I will start with Roger S. For sharing a lifetime of experiences with us, hope your voyage has a long ways to go yet!

Thank you Ronald for sharing your art knowledge, I always learn something from you in those heavy art discussions that happen from time to time. :-)

Although I don't always agree with his comments, I'd like to thank Mike Savad for keeping me entertained with his wit in so many of the discussions.

Ah man there are too many people I should thank. I know this is an incomplete list but I would be going on for days if I thanked everyone, but here are a few FAAers that come to mind:
Jerry Bokowski and Janet Marie for their support and encouragement of me to pursue art and their wonderful comments.
Randy Burns, Tsc Chana and Laurel Adams for their wonderful comments on my paintings.
Mark Tisdale, Peggy Collins and Lisa Kaiser for your unwavering help in to me in the forums and unwavering kindness.
Jim Love for being an amazing story teller and leaver of excellent comments.
Glenn McCarthy, Kim Hojnacki, John Bailey and many more for their tireless efforts running huge groups, and to the many members of those groups who offer unwavering kindness and support, and Jane Dahl for her wonderful comments on group features.
Bill Stephens for opening a wonderful thread about my work that almost put this guy who never cries into tears.
And of course Abbie for keeping the forum in check and putting up with a lot and all the duties she manages
But again, this is an incomplete list. I thank each and every person who spared a moment to comment on my work, give me a bit of encouragement, and helped my learn and grow in the FAA world. You're all awesome and make me glad I chose the FAA family when I stepped foot into the confusing, sometimes maddening, but fulfilling and thrilling world of selling my own creations online.
And thank you Ronald for always making us think and opening this thread!

Ronald,
Now I know why my ears were red when I woke up this morning.
Gee , thanks
Back Atcha, Ronald...You make me think everyday.
My list includes so many already mentioned, that I consider true friends.
And then there are all those others, with all their divergent views/ opinions/ and beliefs, that come and go,from this forum, throughout these years making this stew a surprisingly vibrant tasty treat.
And then there are those that are a bit more permanent in my life.....Those, who's artwork I see everyday hanging all around my house
Viva, Leah Saulnier, David King, A.J. Yoder, J.L. Meadows, Ania Milo, June Piety ...and so many more that I've given as gifts, or lost during Super Storm Sandy......And of course I can't leave out the original painting given to me by the memorable Sal Marino.
And finally, those I've had the true pleasure of meeting in person.
Uther, Brian Wallace, Tony Murray, R.J. Hucanda, Ania Milo, Charles Peck...And that day and night I treasure, with Harold and Janice Shull
I know I left out many
THANKS, THANKS to ALL

Abbie Shores and Mike Savad come to mind immediately. We who know them through these discussion boards understand. Plus, Sean and the powers that be for creating this site and everyone, especially the regulars, who have something of value to contribute here, whether it be knowledge, advice, opinion or talent, I thank you. It's a pleasure. Educational and entertaining. Particularly when I rant.

I'd also like to thank Ronald, his early support has always meant a lot to me.
Beyond myself, I am happy with the tenor of this forum today. Congratulations to all of you making it a wonderful place to share ideas.

I can't forget to say thank you Bill, for all the Bill threads which are mostly pure entertainment only to be found on FAA. :-)
And a sincere thank you to all here including Abbie for putting up with my eccentricities from time to time. :-)

I can't name names because I don't want to leave anyone out. I hope you know who you are, and that you are important to me.
I treasure you for a whole bunch of reasons. Your kindness, humor, generosity, compassion, expertise, emotional support and forbearance make this the one place I want to hang out online. Sharing your lives through your stories and your art is a gift. You inspire me to make better art and to become a better person. Thank you.

dreams. I have a home, here, among my kindred spirits....I am so grateful to you all,
and thanks that Iām on some lists...that I can have made a difference !

My thanks to Roger for his understanding, humor and wisdom. My thanks to Mike Savad and others for insight and advice. The best part of FAA/Pixels is this forum IMO.
4 Years Ago
Thank You...
To Ronald for starting such a lovely positive discussion.
To all who share their expertise freely and frequently. Especially to Mike, Rich and Peggy who gave the advice I needed when I recently licensed an image.
To those who leave positive and heartfelt comments on our work which can brighten a bad day.
To those who put in hours managing Groups or marketing threads, Judy and Matthias spring to mind but there are many others.
For the entertainment!!
To Abbie for her many roles and oversight.
To all who make this one of the very few places online where I leave less stressed than when I arrive!

Thanks to Mario for your willingness to try virtually anything, your energy and pure skill and talent. It is always exciting when you start to ā go for it!ā

Joy, you were instrumental in helping me revise my bio a few years ago. And I always look for your comments in the forum - "What would Joy say." You're just...well you are wonderful.
So many on here that I can thank- I can't even begin to name them all. Mike, Jessica, Chuck, Drew, Dora, Steve Henderson, David Bridburg, Floyd, Laurie, Jennifer White, Judy Whitton, Rick Berk, Wes Iversen - by no means an exhaustive list. OMG, I feel like I just won an academy award. Did I thank my agent? Wait, I don't have an agent. Oh, and of course Abbie! Okay, they are asking me to wrap it up....Thank you!

Alison,
As your agent, I get 25% off the top.
You are very welcome.
