I wasn't sure if I was doing the 'add image' the right way. I hope they aren't too large. Howq do I go about this one you sent as well>" On the Main Page I have added an Oz Nature Niche Artist Profiles Section. I hope that you like the idea and I would like to include all members. Could you please send me the relevant info: Photo of yourself (if different from Oz Nature Niche one), Preferred Media, Preferred Subject Matter, Contact Details, Website, My work is also available at, Artist Statement. One photo of your wildlife work. You will see that there is not a lot of room as it is only intended as a brief summary."
Where do we go to add this? I do have some things I can up load but not sure where you go to do this one?

I trust you like the two pencil drawings done by Chris in the traditional unique fine detail. Enjoy them. Not sure if they have gone up the right way but at least it is a start.
