At the moment i have had time out for very many reasons, however I have not been idle.

I have been able to help one or two of my local charities with some of my art.

I just pay forthe printing and the remaining balance goes directly to the charity.

I have just had a new computer as Windows 8.1 stopped being supported with security updates from the beginning of the month.

So I have gone to Windows 11, with 16 gig of ram, hopefully I'll not be needing a new one for a while.

On this subject how is every one else coping with the various Windows operating systems.

Photo Lab is very interesting, the diffent effects that are achievable is very good, and to realise that it is still a free to use program, great.

Dear fellow members, this year has been very difficult, and doneed to apologies to everyone.

Thank you for all the favouring and continued support.

However ithas not been in vain I have been asked to support at least one charity, so any sales will generate a few pennies.

As we come to the end of yet another year with it's difficulties forall off us, just perhaps our love if all things of art, may give a little cheer and realise there is people that do care, and try to make just a little pleasure and hope.

Please may we all look towards the new year with just, hope, and love and care for each other.

Dear members we come to the end of another year. For many reason's a lot of us would probably like to put 2021 Well and truly behind us. However there is, something ery special, and that being a member of DA we are able to think, and feel with mutual respect of others trough art. I have to thank everyone for all their love and kindness that seems always to here. Thank you all. And iboethat 2022 will be a kinder year for all of us With lots of love through art. Joe(Lenny2055)

I will bring everyone up to date:-

For a long time now, 90% of my time i spend on my mobile phone, doing my fractals as i go about the day.

However since we have changed to this new format, on the mobile phone app is far from finished.

Where as i used to be able to do more or less all f my correspondence and go to where member like you art, the app as yet does not do all of this.

I am now aware that perhaps i am not the only person with this problem, as i have found out that there are other

members with only the use of a mobile phone, and so they are finding it probably exasperating as they do not have full use of the software.

Admittedly, i do have a lap top, but it is not always accessible as it used to be.

Unfortunately as with a lot of our members my health issues are more down than up, the dreaded P.T.S.D. never seems to be far away.

As i have thinking about many things that are going on around the world, at the moment my thoughts are very much about every one, during this very difficult time.

I have been with DA now for 5 years now and it is always a blessing, to find many of us are like minded not just, for our art, there is also i believe a lot of mutual compassion for each other.

It would be a nice thought that when we have came through this time, just maybe people may continue to be kind to each other still, in that perhaps it is rather a pipe

dream, But within the world does it really cost any thing

to be kind or considerate.

A very big thank you to every one who supports me with my art.

With love through art.

Joe(lenny2055).
