Welcome Rick!
Being an artist is a lonely profession. So, is being a web designer.
I wasn't sure if you were aware that this Forum is part of a larger site. A Stroke of Genius really refers to
http://www.portraitartist.com. This Forum is simply a part of that larger site. I thought you'd enjoy seeing all that's featured there. Many of the members of this Forum are not members of the main site and vice versa. This Forum is open to any portrait painter whether they are on SOG or not.
