Hey everybody,

I joined Drawspace in March 2007, a little less than a year ago. I just posted the 100th image in my gallery; I'm taking a moment to reflect. Looking back over those 100 drawings, I can see that I've grown as an artist. This site is a huge part of the reason why.

I have learned a lot from this site and from the wonderful people who hang out here. Special thanks go to our host Brenda, of course, and to all the friends I've made: Kim, Venus, Bob, Judy, Jeanette, Brian, Cyn, Marie, Paulette, Sue, Reed, Kev, RJ, Sarah, Gerard... the list goes on and on, and I know I'm forgetting some folks. Thanks to everyone who has ever commented on any of those 100 pieces, or the other bits and pieces I've posted here in the forums, and to everyone whose artwork has inspired me to keep improving.

So anyway, thanks again. Here's looking forward to #200!

Hi Ernest,

100 per year, that's 2 per week? I guess you really enjoy your work, and you know that practice, practice and practice is the path to improvement. Congratulations for your work and I hope you gave yourself a big hug for that accomplishment. Here's looking to next year, or sooner?

Your competence in art has grown over the last year Ernest and its been a pleasure to watch you tackle new areas.

Your posts are always thought provoking and interesting. Its just nice to have you around! Keep drawing...

Blimey Earnest!!! A hundred in a year!!!
You have been busy. Don't need to remind you to practice, practice, practice
Well done. I'm looking forward to this years "hundred".

Thanks for your words of appreciation Ernest. I agree with what has been said. You have been a very valuable asset to Drawspace and an inspiration to many.

Your post reminded me that I have also been here a year. It has been a very rewarding year for me. It has also been a very tragic year. But that's the way life is, it seems.

It is amazing what you can do in a year!

Congratulations Ernest .....

I have watched your increase in confidence and have been inspired by what you have shared with us Drawspacers.

Onwards and upwards.......Maire

I love watching you and others grow with their artwork....when I look at a new drawing that take my breath away .. I always go to the gallery and revisit some of the older drawings ...you should be proud Ernest you have done a wonderful job .

Ernest, Dear One:

You have inspired me many times and I feel blessed to count you as a friend here on Drawspace. I keep learning from you and many others and look forward to another great year.

Goodness Ernest, no wonder I love your artwork.. You have drawn so much that you are a professional artist. And a darn good one, I might add... I can hardly wait for the next hundred.

Congradulations Ernest I have admired your drawings from day one and you will always be a big inspiration to me.....I have also enjoyed your participation in Snoopy 101.....you are a great friend to us all! and I hope to see a few hundred more of your drawings...
