As we head towards having nearly 6,000 images in our gallery, I wanted to ask if there were any pieces of art that you particularly liked or if you had created something yourself that you were proud of. There really is an incredible array of images and styles, and I'm keen to promote your work in any way I can. So don't be shy - email me with details of anyone you admire or shine the light on your own creations and I'll keep the details for future excitements!

Like many other people, today heralds the first day back in the office for me, and like many other people I am finding it very difficult to adjust! Not reaching out for a chocolate every five minutes seems a bit weird and I think I may have lost part of my brain somewhere between Christmas Eve and New Years' Eve! But I have enough cells left to wish you and your loved ones a very happy New Year and to thank you for all the images and comments you have made over the past months. I look forward to seeing even more and want to see 10,000 images on here by the end of 2008! So what are you waiting for? Get painting!
